The Body Ghost (eBook, ePUB)

Poems

Beschreibung

Spare, airy, exacting poems whose quietness is often at an ironic counterpoint to their fiery leftist politics.

Promise me the rich can't sleep, Joseph Lease begs in The Body Ghost, offering poems as light on the page as nursery rhymes, and as powerful as prayer. Here, verse conjures up the body in pain, the body politic in collapse, and the tensile strength of the filaments that connect us.
