Tupelo PressArdor
$16.95
Paperback ISBN: 978-1-932195-69-9 SynopsisArdor is a book-length poem comprised of lucid dreams, letters, and prayers with the sensual feminine awareness of C.D. Wright, the radiant spirituality of Fanny Howe, the playful erudition of Anne Carson, and the linguistic play of Myung Mi Kim. Ardor employs ecstatic utterances, linguistic migrations, silences, and women’s voices in a feminine consciousness lingering on the mystery of love and glossolalia, speaking tongues in the context of a lyric postmodern aesthetic.Reader's CompanionDownload a free PDF Reader’s Companion for Karen An-hwei Lee’s Ardor.Selected PoemsA man who desired to make love ReviewsBarbara Jane Reyes received an Advance Reader’s Copy of Karen An-hwei Lee’s Ardor. Her analysis of the book is quite illuminating; Barbara Reyes is clearly a very attentive reader. Consider this couple of lines: "In Ardor, there is a recurrent I or a she who is a blind woman, and this is ironic, given the concern with ophthalmic texts; as well, Lee’s work is so full of such deep and luscious color: terra cottas, walnuts, cabernets, coral violets, blue raspberries, peach colored roses, azalea, and human heart as pomegranate or pomegranate as human heart. But we can also experience the beauty of these intensely, using our other senses."Tupelo Press |
