House of Tongues

Angebote / Angebote:

House of Tongues is concerned with acceptance and refusal, with power and the lack thereof, and with silence and bombast. It is also a book full of the sadness and exhilaration of departure- of saying an often ambivalent goodbye to people and places, jobs, or friends lost through illness, sex, and innocence. It also explores the precarious process of patiently setting out again. In these poems, tongues mix and entwine in the mouths of unlikely personae trapped in an atmosphere of vengeance and betrayal.
