By radically rewriting myths central to Ovid's Metamorphoses, Paisley Rekdal contemporizes Ovid's tropes of violence, dismemberment, silence, and fragmentation. A series of connected poems trace the continuing effects of sexual violence and rape on survivors, where nightmares mix with images of empathy, and hope emerges from the dark forest of memory. Rekdal's characters change and change again, not by divine intervention but through human events: illness, injury, love, creation. Is transformation punishment or reward? How does language name, and fail to name, that which permanently changes us? Nightingale boldly sings of our mutable world, where we each wake into something terrifyingly new."-from Publisher.…

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Here, Rekdal translates pain into redemption, so that a loss is not an ending but a transformation, in this riveting poetic alchemy. Publishers Weekly, starred reviewNightingale explores what few writers since Ovid have reminded us: metamorphosis is a violent act, requiring dismemberment, silence, and fragmentation before we can become something new. New York Journal of BooksNightingale is a book about change. This collection radically rewrites and contemporizes many of the myths central to Ovids epic, The Metamorphoses, Rekdals characters changed not by divine intervention but by both ordinary and extraordinary human events. In Nightingale, a mother undergoes cancer treatments at the same time her daughter transitions into a son; a woman comes to painful terms with her new sexual life after becoming quadriplegic; a photographer wonders whether her art is to blame for her sons sudden illness; and a widow falls in love with her dead husbands dog. At the same time, however, the book includes more intimate lyrics that explore personal transformation, culminating in a series of connected poems that trace the continuing effects of sexual violence and rape on survivors. Nightingale updates many of Ovids subjects while remaining true to the Roman epics tropes of violence, dismemberment, silence, and fragmentation. Is change a physical or a spiritual act? Is transformation punishment or reward, reversible or permanent? Does metamorphosis literalize our essential traits, or change us into something utterly new? Nightingale investigates these themes, while considering the roles that pain, violence, art, and voicelessness all play in the changeable selves we present to the world.
