Monkeys, Minor Planet, Average Star

by Gracie Leavitt

Book Overview

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.
