Über diesen Titel

Inhaltsangabe

This English language chapbook is the winner of the Editor's Choice Award for the Accents Publishing 2010 Poetry Chapbook Contest. "The poetry collection is representative of my esthetics and obsessions over the last year or so," says Belli. "My husband was away for military training this entire winter and I found myself alone in this house full of empty rooms, moths, echoes, and my piano. The collection explores that sense of being new to a place while tugging along memories from previous lives." "The title Plein Jeu, actually refers to a type of organ registration which is composed of principals, flutes, fournitures and cymbals," explains Belli. "When the plein jeu stop is pulled, it activates all of these other stops as well. It is one of the richest tones that can be achieved. Plein jeu is what the collection feels like to me: all of the voices within me were activated."
