O tej książce
Review"Ruth Ellen Kocher's masterful fourth volume of poetry domina Un/blued is a book-length meditation on ownership, dominion, and domination. With admirable dexterity the book both decries power and celebrates empowerment. Perforated by white space, the poems seem to hover above the page, systematically undermining a linear reading. domina Un/blued is at once deeply moving and wildly intelligent . . . a wonderful book--sophisticated, beautiful, and innovative." -- Lynn Emanuel"In domina Un/blued, Ruth Ellen Kocher painstakingly manipulates verse, visual field, and linguistics to reveal the historical violence and very personal implications of dominion, enslavement, and diaspora. The poems stutter and shudder through their observations toward their discoveries, merciless, feminist, and unforgiving. This is a book about power and powerlessness, and about suffering, about which Kocher is, unfortunately, never wrong." -- Kathy Fagan --Advance PraiseAbout the AuthorRuth Ellen Kocher's previous books include Desdemona's Fire (Naomi Long Madget Award for African American Poets; Lotus Press, 1999), When the Moon Knows You're Wandering (Green Rose Prize; New Issues, 2001), and One Girl Babylon (New Issues, 2003).
