Paperback. Num Pages: 96 pages. BIC Classification: DC. Category: (G) General (US: Trade). Dimension: 184 x 133 x 8. Weight in Grams: 163.
Monkeys, Minor Planet, Average Star, Gracie Leavitt's first full-length collection, draws on rich lyric history, the love poem as prism, in an effort to create a postmodern pastoral. Leavitt's lines-a baroque tracery, sometimes dark, teasing prose, and pronoun-packed-and unstoppable syntax define her unique poetic vision. This idyll, with its bucolic scenery, its domestic scale, its erotic charge, charges forward into an ecofeminist future.
