Surveille de Caitlin Roach

Surveille: Wisconsin Poetry Series

Autor Caitlin Roach
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 12 noi 2024
Surveille’s queer speaker is on the cusp of motherhood, vacillating between attentiveness and paranoia. Exploring drone strikes, scorpion eradication, bird behavior, mating deer, ICE detainees, and family relationships, Caitlin Roach’s poems stare into and through the truth with a blazing intensity. This is a book about control (self-inflicted and external), about watching and being watched (by oneself, by others, by the state), and about the desperate search for meaning in a world that feels increasingly violent and filled with despair.

Extras

Hold the husk.

Suck each bead out. There
are degrees of loss, speeds

at which pain travels
through the body. See,

even the rose neck’s bent. I do not
need to tell you I’m sick. I want to

be remembered for the absence
my body made in space.

—Excerpt from “Gardening, the mother gives her daughter a lesson on loss”

Recenzii

“Roach is a reader of omens, of the shapes hidden in shadows, recasting the hard lessons of the natural world. A bridge between the public chaos surrounding us and the portentous silence of private life, these poems are urgent and heart-piercing. This debut challenges us to stand witness.”

“Surveille brought me down to my knees in utter awe and ache. Roach’s striking debut is exacting and lush, braiding and ricocheting off the pastoral and deeply psychological landscapes with probing depth and exquisite diction. Each line was a whole poem to me. Each line wrecked me with surprise and a sense of implication as the speaker surveys the American borders of the public and private consciousness with remarkable force and execution.”

“Roach not only ‘queer[s] the cruelness of the world’ but also its fruiting lushness, while pinning her reader as bull’s-eye at its center. In these poems, bucks circle does, poisoned water teems with beaked fish, drones hover, and amid the ferocious glint of this marred earth, desire sings. Stunning!”

“Through these wise, painful, and beautiful poems, Surveille investigates the intersections of local and global violence with deep concern, compassion, and precision. This book is a triumph.”
