Excessive Love Prostheses
Usually dispatched within 3 - 5 business days.
£ 10.91
The heart, writes Margaret Christakos, is ''a public organ of private damage.'' The poems in Excessive Love Prostheses confess, rather than deride, the complexities of contemporary desire, describing a subject that is both public and private, physical and virtual.Excessive Love Prostheses takes the confessional lyric poem and runs it through Kathy Acker''s Cuisinart. Christakos shapes a sensory surfeitry of pornography, cautionary nursery rhymes, mothering, bisexuality and the paradoxes of feminism into poignant analogies for contemporary obsessions and ailments; here are the voices of construction workers, staple sorters, obstetricians, video technicians and others, shattered and sorted by a practiced writerly hand. The result is a near-ecstatic tribute to the hyper-embodied intelligence of a new millennial subject.
