Produktinformationen zu „The Body Ghost (ePub)“
In this "spare, evocative" collection of poems from the prize-winning author of Testify, "both hope and despair are evident amid [the] music" (Publishers Weekly). "Promise me the rich can't sleep," Joseph Lease begs in The Body Ghost, offering poems as light on the page as nursery rhymes, and as powerful as prayer. The title work, which is "broken up into three separate poems, underlines the common thread weaved throughout his collection, the search for a silver lining amongst hardships" (Fourteen Hills). "Electric and electrifying, spontaneous and illuminating," these poems conjure up the body in pain, the body politic in collapse, and the strength of all that connect us (Tablet).

Pressezitat
“In The Body Ghost, Joseph Lease pares back the flesh of his verse until all that remains are the ethereal and essential bones.” —Arkansas International“[Lease’s] lyricism is strong, stubborn, and won’t be diluted.” —Galatea Resurrects
“[A] mystical, transportational, and reconfiguring text.” —Interim
“Currents of immediacy and intensity surge through Joseph Lease’s poems in The Body Ghost. Amid the flotsam of voices overheard in hospital rooms and snippets of media chatter repeating on TV and laptop screens, Lease traces a lyric as light as air, revealing gravities at the core of the ephemeral. This is a vision as palpable as the ghost body of our neoliberal society evanescing before us.” —John Keene, author of Counternarratives
“The Body Ghost is part of a body of work that is significant and reveals Joseph Lease to be a major force in contemporary American literature.” —Sheila Murphy
