Harm

Autor Hillary Gravendyk
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 31 mar 2012
Offering evocative reflections on the experience of receiving a double lung transplant, these lyrical constructs heighten the awareness of the body while deeply delving into human suffering. Terrifying and resisted harmonies emerge, dwelling in a medical landscape where both the body and the land are monitored and laid bare. Shifting between warning and error, the idea of "cure" is repositioned as a form of harm itself and the lines between sleep and wakefulness are blurred. Clear yet complex, Hillary Gravendyk's work is less of a personal memoir, but rather moves between a prose poem and lyric navigating a landscape of extremity both frightening and filled with wonders.

Recenzii

"Most of Gravendyk's brief and evocative poems concern her recovery from major surgery: most of those achieve formal variety, emotional clarity (pain, fear, gratitude), and a jeweled fragmentation of phrasing." --"Publishers Weekly" (January 16, 2012)
