Mass for Shut-Ins: Yale Series of Younger Poets, cartea 117
Autor Mary-Alice Daniel Cuvânt înainte de Rae Armantrouten Limba Engleză Hardback – 21 mar 2023
“Against humans creating hell on earth, Daniel draws on animistic, Islamic, and syncretic Christian traditions from her native Nigeria to unleash potent incantations, rituals and spells, electric as St. Elmo’s fire. Buckle up.”—Rae Armantrout, judge
In Mass for Shut-Ins, African and Western mythic systems and modern rituals originate an ill-omened universe. Here, it is always night, grim night, under absurd moons. Venturing through dreamscapes, hellscapes, and lurid landscapes, poems map speculative fields of spiritual warfare. This collection is controlled chaos powered by nightmare fuel. It animates an utterly odd organism: a cosmology cobbled with scripture, superstition, mass media, mad science. Horrid, holy, unholy—these pages overrun with the unhinged, intrusive thoughts that obsess us all late into nighttime.

“Mass for Shut-Ins is a ground-breaking, earth-shaking collection by a poet possessed of uncanny powers. Every poem, every line, is wildly original yet loyal to the art form’s mysterious, sacred origins. This is a book to which readers will return throughout their lives, and that will also, surely, awe readers yet to be born.”—Laura Kasischke, author of Where Now

“Mass for Shut-Ins challenges and delights through lived rituals flowing together. Multiple worlds move with a lyrical jest of fantastic leaping where a personal surrealism manifests.”—Yusef Komunyakaa, author of Everyday Mojo Songs of Earth
