Rosenwasser, Rena

Poetry

Kelsey Street Press

<p>Poetry. Art. In ISLE, Rena Rosenwasser continues her explorations of prehistory, the body, and the aesthetics that arise from sensations. Written from notes taken during a tour of the Greek islands, the poems incorporate fragments from journal entries, guide books, archeological texts. That she travels alone suggests a spiritual journey, but it is not an ascetic one. Feelings of pleasure and curiosity are cultivated as links to the ancient world. Kate Delos's six drawings, preproduced in graphite and wash, are talismans for the text. Scratches, marks, white space, washes of color become an imagined place, another record of abstraction.</p>

Isle

<p>Poetry. LGBT Studies. Art. These experimental poems seduce us with their verbal architectures as the book transports the reader visually and graphically across the globe, through time to the present, from Perugia to Egypt to Manhattan, where historical details mesh with real time haptic experiences of cathedral architecture, Egyptian monuments, and urban corridors that ignite the "wow" effect of the poet's New York City childhood. "This passionate psalm poem is a labyrinth inside a travelogue inside a dream"—Jane Miller.</p>
