Viscera

Beschreibung

"Set in New York City, circa now, Viscera chronicles the pursuit of love and unassailable truth in a world designed to deny one's humanity. Our poet protagonist interrogates the cultural belief systems that bind and ultimately finds freedom in relentless self-definition. Inspired by pop culture patron saints and crime procedurals, Viscera investigates how to transfigure a fractured soul into a fully realized mosaic. From intimate whisper to wry conversation to Whitmanesque prophecy, Felice Belle's voice speaks to, and for, and somehow from us-as we are now-"never...more separate" and "never...more connected." These poems inhabit a frontier beyond free verse, yet thrum with an orality older than the alphabet. Viscera pays homage to the heart and cuts to the bone. It celebrates the multitudes within and the exquisite inherent risk in composing a life"--
