Description
Proceeding from Helene Cixous's charge to "kill the false woman who is preventing the live one from breathing," The Fix forges that woman's reckoning with her violent past, with her sexuality, and with a future unmoored from the trappings of domestic life.
These poems of lyric beauty and unflinching candor negotiate the terrain of contradictory desire-often to darkly comedic effect.
In encounters with strangers in dive bars and on highway shoulders, and through ekphrastic engagement with visionaries like William Blake, Jose Clemente Orozco, and the Talking Heads, this book seeks the real beneath the dissembling surface.
Here, nothing is fixed, but grace arrives by diving into the complicated past in order to find a way to live, now.
