Description for Life of the Garment: Poems
Paperback. Num Pages: 112 pages. BIC Classification: DCF. Category: (G) General (US: Trade). Dimension: 216 x 165 x 8. Weight in Grams: 181.
In her vital, elegiac poems, Deborah Gorlin inventories her dead in urgent acts of recognition and commemoration. Family members - both nuclear and extended - appear in their native stories to reanimate local histories, intimate geographies, and lost times. In a different series of personae poems, Gorlin catalogues dolls and totems within their particular cultural habitats, which range from Africa to the Andes, and imagines their daemonic hopes, dreams and emotions. In a final act of inclusion, she takes stock of her own spiritual hesitations, yearnings, approximations, and explorations of such crazy topics as fingernails, Hebraic trees, and fat.
