The Grimace Of Eden, Now: Reimagining Paradise In A Fractured World

Description

Cody-Rose Clevidence

Animate, emotive, sensory-rich and a little vicious, the poems in this collection take as their subject the earth as a planet, small and contaminated and alone in vast space, and the humans and creatures and technology swarming it with life. Formally inventive and playful with language, referencing Tennyson in one breath and the metaverse the next, these poems wander through spacetime with their irreverent theologies, exploring what it could mean to be living, sensate and awake in this weird moment of historical time, a mixture half of awe and half of madness.
