Dunk Tank

TaschenbuchKartoniert, Paperback
96 Seiten
Englisch
House of Anansi Presserschienen am23.05.2019
The much-anticipated second collection from Gerald Lampert Memorial Award-winning poet Kayla Czaga, Dunk Tank is a rich, imaginative, and sometimes absurdist exploration of the landscape of the body and of adult life. In the title poem of Kayla Czaga´s sophomore collection, a teenage speaker is suspended between knowledge and experience, confidently hovering before the world plunges her into adult life. Dunk Tank reimagines the body as a strange and unknowable landscape: full of cancers that burst like blackberries, a butt that could run for prime minister of Canada, and the underworld lurking in Winona Ryder´s pores. Clouds become testicles and uteri turn into goldfish, flickering and fragile, but still ultimately glowing. These poems explore the varied and strange relationships that underpin a young woman´s coming of age, from inconsequential boyfriends to the friendships that rescue us from grey daily moments. Unsure of how the world works and her part in it, Czaga forges a landscape of metaphor and gleaming, dense imagery. Dunk Tank is playful and dark, comic and disturbing.mehr
