Buckle up.”—Rae Armantrout, judge In Mass for Shut-Ins, African and Western mythic systems and modern rituals originate an ill-omened universe. Here, it is always night, grim night, under absurd moons. Venturing through dreamscapes, hellscapes, and lurid landscapes, poems map speculative fields of spiritual warfare. This collection is controlled chaos powered by nightmare fuel. It animates an utterly odd organism: a cosmology cobbled with scripture, superstition, mass media, mad science. Horrid, holy, unholy—these pages overrun with the unhinged, intrusive thoughts that obsess us all late into nighttime.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: USItem Height: 235mmItem Length: 156mmAuthor: Mary-Alice DanielContributor: Rae Armantrout (Foreword by)Genre: Poetry & DramaBook Series: Yale Series of Younger PoetsItem Weight: 5.6 ouncesgType: PoetryRelease Year: 2023 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
