d-sorientation Summary

d-sorientation by Charleen McClure

A Blessing the Boats Selection with aForeword by Aracelis Girmay

Charleen McClures d-sorientation wanders the landscape of loss with a weathered eye and a clenched fist. Delving deep into personal hauntologies, McClures speakers are dislocatedtheir observations and interrogations are quietly desperate as they navigate history, relationships, and dig for their roots. The lexicon of McClures poetry is one of intimacy and outrage, one that challenges the reader to consider their own belonging.

Through bold lyric poems that beat with brutality yet glow with softness, McClures debut collection is a compass, pointing the reader towards reclamation.

d-sorientation Reviews

If you have ever been lost in a city, which is to say alive in a body, you know exactly how bewildering life can feel. Charleen McClures debut collection, d-sorientation, elicits an analogous sensation as unsettling as it is compelling. To quote the last line of McClures penultimate poem, I hear a storm. Dear readers, take cover. Nicole Sealey, author of The Ferguson Report: An Erasure

Charleen McClures debut collection is radiant and searing. d-sorientation is an offering of ferocious beauty and relentless clarity. On these pages are tangible tendernesses woven through raging storms; writing miraculously from the eye, from the center of a howl is McClure, ancient-voiced, rooted, steady. Mariahadessa Ekere Tallie, author of Strut

Throughoutd-sorientation, McClure takes up the wondrous, painstaking and radical work of being in ongoingly deep relation with another through life and death, both vexed and free of the thresholds. It is so moving then that the final poem ofd-orientation, Transfiguration, is a series of unstopped, open lines. Sustained note(s) of a seriously steadfast and unending music, blessed are we to begin to know it.Aracelis Girmay, Whiting Award winner, from theForeword
