Poetry. "Diane Ward's new book ushers us into an imaginary movie, only to tell us we have never left. The precise declarative elegance of Ward's lines both critique the social forces of the spectacle and situate the reader in an autonomous milieau, at once public and private. Ward has discovered the means of exploiting poetic language which turns language into a moral force. She offers us, in our collaborative improvising as readers, a dignity equal to the authority of the writer. Her writing provides us with the means to name what otherwise impedes change. This IMAGINARY MOVIE is 'no skin deep technology/but a connected sifting of last things'" -Jerry Estrin.

Poetry. "Here is the mind of a woman writing subject and subjects. Sequences of outlined homes jettison love to decipher. Definitions recover our covered letters to release continuing extremes. In RELATION words are incandescent and precisely elliptical" -Susan Howe.

Contemporary

Poetry. LGBT Studies. Limited Edition. In this special series of eight perfect-bound books, each book is an anthology and a conversation between the guest curator and the elder(s) she hosts. In ELDERS SERIES #8, Jane Sprague hosts Diane Ward and Tina Darragh. Belladonna* has featured over 150 writers of wildly diverse age and origin, writers who work in conversation and collaboration within and between multiple forms, languages, and critical fields. 2009 marked the tenth anniversary of their mission to promote the work of women writers who are adventurous, experimental, politically involved, multi-form, multicultural, multi-gendered, impossible to define, delicious to talk about, unpredictable, and dangerous with language. As performance and as printed text, the work collects, gathers over time and space, and forms a kind of conversation about the feminist avant garde: what it is and how it comes to be. The anniversary ELDERS SERIES is a continuation of this conversation, which highlights the fact of influence and continuity of the ideas, poetics, and concerns we circle through.
