Bisquick: An American Seance
Autor C. Russell Priceen Limba Engleză Paperback – 15 aug 2026
Grief is a rodeo filled with ghost clowns. In Bisquick: An American Seance, C. Russell Price explores spiritualism and the fetishization of the Midwest cowboy aesthetic, creating a vibrant world inhabited by three unforgettable characters: the speaker, a traumatized eco-anarchist working through grief; Ghost Cowboy, a ghost dream boyfriend hell-bent on hunting predators of the poor; and Bisquick, a blue ghost horse who just wants to dance. This spectral trio boogies, copulates, and fights against a system that ghosted them long before the demise of their physical bodies, determined to stay saddled to their dreams. Price gallops through the widths of time, the geography of the United States, the spectral plane, and the leather BDSM scene as they attempt to answer this provocative collection’s central question: If the dead could talk, wouldn’t they have something better to say?

Recenzii
“Dear Poet, you had me at, ‘Venus is in Pisces and America is falling apart.’ C. Russell Price makes my favorite kinds of poems, each page a release pin, a spur dug in the thigh. The living in here when you enter this book is a brilliant echo, each poem ringing back to you long after you've read it. I called a friend and told them Price's advice, ‘We could go to a small town to be strangers / in love with The Moon.’ YES, we both exclaimed! Ghost cowboy love is real!” —CAConrad, author of Listen to the Golden Boomerang Return
“Reading C. Russell Price's latest poetry collection feels like admiring flowers in the graveyard on a sunny day. It's the queerness of grief, the beauty and ache of longing to be loved by all our ghosts. It's pleasure and loneliness holding hands, with their fingers intertwined.” —H. Melt, author of There Are Trans People Here
“Bisquick is a surrealist, no-holds-barred queer haunting, resurrecting dead friends, lost loves, lost potential, and American dreams through carnal and grief-infected conjurings of the Ghost Cowboy and his eponymous steed. Price’s poems are simultaneously sexy, messy-wild, grandiose, and ambitious. In Bisquick, they give us an unbridled kick-to-the-face-of-fascist-conformity kind of wild ride that’s just not necessary, but also a helluva good time!” —Evelyn Berry, author of Grief Slut
