Description
Jackqueline Frost
Young Americans by Jackqueline Frost is a poetry collection that conjures a present teeming with the decadent violence of the confederate South. The book is a narrative of becoming in the wartime petroleum landscape of southern Louisiana. Faulknerian in its themes and in its taste for the baroque, Frost’s lyric explores the melancholy of ‘belonging to the enormous bliss of American death’ in places where one must ‘learn what love is from what it is not.’
Jackqueline Frost is an emerging force in poetry and criticism. A queer-feminist author living in France and scholar of Caribbean culture and politics, Frost writes about the revolutions of the past and future.
