Broschiertes Buch

in which I take myself hostage

Beschreibung

I wrote this book in the aftermath of a hospital visit. My partner, Kim, and I had been living apart since I took a job in Iowa City, and she had come to visit. She had a headache, so she went to sleep early. I stayed in the other room and wrote nearly every poem in this collection deep into the night. Her presence, the proximity of me to her, gave me to courage and comfort to write what was too painful to write alone.

Autor

Erik Fuhrer is the author of the play The Ocean and it's Movers (Free Lines Press) and six previous collections of poetry: Eye, Apocalypse, in which I take myself hostage (Spuyten Duyvil), At Root, every time I die (Alien Buddha), VOS (Yavanika), and not human enough for the census (Vegetarian Alcoholic). Their memoir, My Buffed Up Life, which engages with Buffy the Vampire Slayer to unfold an otherwise unspeakable tale of personal trauma, is forthcoming from Spuyten Duyvil Press in 2024.
