Psyche's Scroll is a post-postmodern epic poem that pushes at the frontiers of what is possible and invites you to participate in a woman's psychosocial self-analysis as she struggles to move through and beyond psychological trauma. Become a voyeur of the mind in this book of sometimes bawdy, ballsy language, as well as sharp insights into human behavior. Psyche's Scroll is myth making, it's a love story with a geeky streak. It's also a schizophrenic story: half raw emotion, half coolly cerebral-a story which American master poet William Heyen referred to as "sui generis."__________________________________________________________________________________________What They're Saying about Psyche's Scroll:"We witness here sacral intelligence within a revelatory construct, and we're grateful to keep this strong poet's "wieldings" company.~William Heyen, National Book Award Finalist, The Candle: Poems of Our 20th Century Holocausts_____"Psyche's Scroll is as audacious and original work of poetry I have ever read. It blew my mind!"~Vuong Quoc Vu, editor for Tourane Poetry Press_____"Merrifield has produced here her 'body of proof'-a lustrous map for all women and all men to follow into the light where we too can finally discover the courage to declare ourselves who we truly are."~Mike Burwell, author of Cartography of Water, co-editor of Cirque______"In exchanges reminiscent of John Berryman's Dream Songs, poet Karla Linn Merrifield examines the fractures which paradoxically lead to a more integrated whole. This is not the conventional approach to suffering and healing, but rather a poetic one, where a trickster may appear in a '65 Corvette convertible and take us all along for the ride."~Miriam Sagan, author of GEOGRAPHIC: A Memoir of Time and Space
