Blakwork by Alison Whittaker

Book Description

Secondhand. Good condition. Ex library copy with no external stickers. Partial date due slip on half-title page. Wear to book corners and edges.

The pieces in BLAKWORK range from the political, seething with intelligent anger, to the personal, tenderly exploring ways humans are connected. Whittaker is unsparing in the interrogation of familiar ideas- identifying and dissolving them with idiosyncratic imagery, layering them to form new connections, and leaving us with something impossibly more than we started with. This is the voice of a poet coming into their own, using a variety of inventive forms to create a resonance that is felt long after the page is closed.
