Download or read book It Blows You Hollow written by Diane Seuss and published by New Issues Poetry and Prose. This book was released on 1998 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With these dark, triumphant poems Diane Seuss-Brakeman takes us on a journey through the landscape of the soul -- and it is a world full of beauty and violence in equal parts. Relentless and incantatory, these poems confront whatever it is that guides us in a life that is sensuous, yet exacting in its terrible cost. As the poet looks for God's presence in the book's erotically charged universe, the quest itself becomes a victory of perfectly pitched and furious language. It Blows You Hollow is a book that feels as if it had to be written.

Download or read book Spinster for Hire written by Julia Story and published by . This book was released on 2020-06 with total page 76 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Poetry. Funny and fiery, this second collection will restore your faith in the power of small stories to shift our minds to bigger knowing. Says Emily Kendal Frey, "The voice here is friends with its sadness and yet we are yanked, with fierce exultance, up and through joy, too. Mashed and battered, held and protected, these words are life, and a life that asks, 'What harms us more than our hope?'" "Cinematic, darkly funny, & seductively sad--watching Julia Story cut these twisty, glinting shapes out of silence is like watching a kirigami artist summon a life-size funnel cloud out of a single sheet of paper. SPINSTER FOR HIRE is sublime--so full of finely-tuned truth, it practically levitates."--Karyna McGlynn "SPINSTER FOR HIRE is an antidote to modern noise--a long, late-night walk that leaves us wondering how we got here. Against a backdrop of existential isolation, Story points out constellations. Maybe they mean something, and if not, these poems shepherd us through the mystery."--Rob McDonald
