Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

'Wild girl fire' is what Jan Beatty calls it, 'that white-hot tearing' that ignites into art or self-destruction. Poetry against all odds. Poetry as the death-defying act. Poetry as the wild choice for a girl running reckless from the working class. Between odd jobs and odd loves, Beatty writes from the tender heart without flinching."" - Sandra Cisneros; ""In Beatty's courageous, beautiful, and harsh new book, the body is as horrifyingly without boundaries as the cosmos, as constricted as a prison cell. Boneshaker is fierce, intelligent, terrifying....A splendid new work."" - Lynn Emanuel

Reseña del editor:

In hard-hitting, sophisticated, often lyrical language, Jan Beatty investigates the idea of the body as cultural machine, shelter, mirage, or home. She rescripts the birth scene with girders and industrial pulleys; the womb as inhabited by a young girl architect. Structurally adventurous, the poems in Boneshaker question icons and invoke taboos, connect desire with place and class, walk the tightrope between sex and love.
