My Dim Aviary

Beschreibung

Poetry. "Through the voice of Miss Fernande--Parisian model, prostitute, rumored mistress of Picasso--Gillian Cummings creates a series of exquisite prose poems, thick with longing, loneliness, and corporal beauty. 'What color would God clothe me but red?' Cummings asks, offering the body as both wound and source of pleasure, and later, 'There is a place the soul goes when the body is a field lost to burning.' MY DIM AVIARY is that place. Reader, I implore you to visit."--Allison Benis White
