The All + Flesh Zusammenfassung

The All + Flesh: Poems Brandi Bird

I am made of centuries & carbohydrates
the development of my molars
the hunger the teeth grew
has been with me since childhood
I cant escape the mouths of others

Brandi Birds long-anticipated debut poetry collection, The All + Flesh, explores the concepts of health, language, place, and memory that connect its author to their chosen kin, blood relatives, and ancestral lands. By examining kinship in broader contexts, these frank, transcendent poems expose binaries that exist inside those relationships, then inspect and tease them apart in the hope of moving toward decolonial future(s). Birds work is highly concerned with how outer and inner landscapes move and change within the confines of the English language, particularly the I of the self, a tradition of movement that has been lost for many who dont speak their Indigenous languages or live on their homelands. By exploring the landscapes the poet does inhabit, both internally and externally, Birds poems seek to delve into and reflect their cultural lineagesspecifically Saulteaux, Cree, and Metisand how these transformative identities shape the person they are today.

The All + Flesh Bewertungen

This is Birds gospel They transform prayer into poetry.

* British Columbia Review *

An expansive, experimental consideration of how intergenerational trauma, knowledge, and violence grow like limbs Drawing on their experience as a queer and Indigenous author, [Brandi Bird reveals], sharply and beautifully, the whiplash of coming of age in a time of contradictionwhen reparations and profound systematic failures arrive on the same day.

* Literary Review of Canada *

Birds clear, forceful voice stacks imagistic snippets in formally inventive poems and leaves the reader to intuit and feel through how they all fit together in an act of engaged, attentive witnessing.

* The Tyee *

Honest and transformative, these poems portray and reach beyond Prairie landscapes and wounded lives.

* Prairie Books NOW *

The All + Fleshis a sophisticated debut work Over and over again, time is suspended in the poems, and in this state of timelessness, we are able to transcend the limitations of western linearity and thought and to reconnect with relationships that have been stunted or lost. This is an invigorating, liberating read.

* Miramichi Reader *
