Cage of Eden by Cori Bratby-Rudd

$14.99

 

“These compelling, proudly youthful poems directly and indirectly ask some of the basic, urgent questions of our moment: how to dwell for real with the damaged and gorgeous Earth; how to be with each other in our toxic Now; how to live and love as contaminated beings, with no truly reasonable expectation of an enduring future for our troubled civilization.”
 –Anthony McCann, author of Thing Music (Wave Books, 2014), I ♥ Your Fate (Wave Books, 2011), Moongarden (Wave Books, 2006) and Father of Noise (Fence Books,  2003).

 

Cori Bratby-Rudd’s Cage of Eden is a beautiful testament to the chapbook form. Here, Bratby-Rudd’s poems are elegant, beguiling, almost brutally thoughtful—yet touch and indicate, question, and trail away, leaving silences and vacancies for readers to populate with contemplations, realizations, and queernesses of their own.

–Ryka Aoki, author of Why Dust Shall Never Settle Upon This Soul, He Mele A Hilo, and Seasonal Velocities.
