OverviewPoetry. California Interest. Women's Studies. Art. Film. Written from inside its own formal conundrum, SUN CYCLE deals with representation, value, power, gender and the aesthetic. Influenced by 80's film theory updated for 24-hour access screen time, it is obsessed with images and is named for the star that makes vision possible. These poems shift deftly from treatise to entreaty, casting form and finance as corollary particulates in the air surrounding art-making. Selcer's work creates a complicated critique of appearance and visuality, claiming: You are carefully surviving what needs to be destroyed. I need you to language otherwise. Dear Anne Lesley Selcer, hello from, 'This book looks like reversal. / This book has a beauty that's ruined when it's read.' The misery of dying each day, and each day better seeing through the hallucination of our imagined banquet, your poems do not comfort, better then that they galvanize and embolden. The acceptance of and anger for what we think we know. Thank you. My life differs from before your book because of your book. 'I arise from this accelerated archaeology to spit in knowing's eye.' In the stack of poetry books I keep with me, the ones that I need to remind me to make the conditions of this world tolerable in order to fully transfigure, your book is at the top. It is poets like you who make not being able to do it all alone okay.--CAConrad Full Product DetailsAuthor: Anne Lesley SelcerPublisher: Cleveland State University Poetry Center Imprint: Cleveland State University Poetry Center Dimensions: Width: 15.00cm , Height: 0.80cm , Length: 20.10cm Weight: 0.159kg ISBN: 9780914946090ISBN 10: 0914946099 Pages: 90 Publication Date: 10 September 2019 Audience: General/trade , General Format: Paperback Publisher's Status: Active Availability: In stock We have confirmation that this item is in stock with the supplier.
