商品簡介
Poetry. Women's Studies. Winner of the Kore Press First Book Award in Poetry, selected by Tracie Morris, BODY BURDEN is an investigation—in historical documents, public records, imagined letters, a rich variety of visual and linguistic forms. The poems invite readers inside the 10,000 foot level of the Comstock lode, arrays of spent plutonium rods and generations of a family, inextricably tied to economic and ecological disasters 'marbling our part of the West' from late 19th century to now. BODY BURDEN invites readers to look, hear, and experience the language and facts of history and science as more than evidence, but the stuff 'we make our beds from / and lie among,' the songs and silence of life itself.
