Paperback. All Our (Un)Makings explores desire, language, and embodiment as the forces that both create and undo us. Interweaving the unfolding of erotic desire with ancient myth and scenes of language's evolution, these poems confront the longings-to see and be seen, to know and be known, to erase time and distance through our productions-that drive us toward love, art, and language, as well as the losses our bodies invoke and endure along the way.The mythical figures of Orpheus and Eurydice and Penelope at her loom become lyrical means of reckoning with lost possibilities of erotic and parental love and relation. The ancient development of the alphabet becomes fodder for an extended exploration of the emotional costs imposed by the language that enables our artistic and erotic expressions. The roots of creation and meaning-making are found, again and again, entwined with their requisite losses.Lyrical and experimental, erotic and philosophical, in forms ranging from sonnet to sestina to an invented hybrid form, these poems evoke antiquity and engage contemporary writers such as Anne Carson and torrin a. greathouse in wondering how writing might relate and respond to these longings and losses. All Our (Un)Makings explores desire, language, and embodiment as the forces that both create and undo us; poems have won Spoon River Poetry Review's Editor's Prize and Harpur Palate's Kessler Award. This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…
