Aggiungi al carrelloPaperback. Condizione: New. Lyrical satire that imagines mental illnesses as various bird species. Ewa Chrusciel's fourth book in English, Yours, Purple Gallinule, playfully explores health and illness as they are culturally constructed. Using research into clinical understandings of mental afflictions and their treatments through history, Chrusciel maps various diagnostics onto an array of bird species. A lyrical satire, the book is a reflection on a society that tends to over-diagnose, misdiagnose, and over-medicate. These poems pose questions about what it means to be unique and to accept pain and suffering as a fact of life. On the pages of Yours, Purple Gallinule, we encounter birds, a poet, and a psychiatrist. The psychiatrist undergoes a series of conversions as she realizes that the point is not to classify thoughtlessly, but to "make music instead"-to dwell in astonishment. Birds evade the anthropomorphizing intentions of the human protagonists as the psychiatrist and the poet eventually become one. The anthropomorphizing goes in reverse, and the human being becomes more avian. Like the dove in the biblical Noah's ark story, the bird proclaims a new covenant, with a twig in its beak and a message: "We are all mad; some more than others, but no one is spared the affliction. And the madder we are, the more sacred.".

Very Good in Wrappers. 9781632430564. 80 pages. paperback. keywords: American Literature Poetry Women. DESCRIPTION - In Ewa Chrusciel's first book in English, Strata, an exile's memories are. at once a rapture of possession (of being possessed) and defeatingly untotalizable. Strata is. a tumultuous revelation of how much of the past there still is, right here in the near flight of letters, and of the burn of being in time at all, the difficulty of catching up with oneself in a universe that is never one, but always scattered. Strata is a book of concuspiscences, of combings for pleasures, yes, but even more for the Sacred Book it wants to be. In its every line, it shows that the rhapsodic is the right approach to the truth about the world. - from the foreword by Calvin Bedient. Praise for Ewa Chrusciel's poetry: With a wonderful insistence, each phrase in Ewa Chrusciel's prose poetry can be experienced as a moment of transition, of what Emerson would have called a darting aim. Whenever we visited, my grandfather would put his chair on the road and wait, Chrusciel writes. Kraina na Bosaka. We were the apparition of deer. Pray, why chase each stalk of wounded light?' - Tony Brinkley, Boston Review. inventory #43548.
