Produktbeschreibung
When Tracy's brother Aaron commits suicide, she inherits his dogs: two dog-aggressive pit bulls and the French mastiff Stella. As Tracy navigates her grief, she also has to learn how to care for her new dogs - who come with issues of their own. The dogs provide independent Tracy with ready-made fences, and necessitate new relationships with others exploring their own memories, fractured families and mental health issues. Life in the small Wisconsin town is a fishbowl of sorts, but also a place where pain is private - oblique and whispered. For anyone who has loved a dog, for anyone who has tried to navigate the class distinctions of small-town America, for anyone who has tried to balance the expectations of who the world says they should be with their own unruly desires, This Business of the Flesh speaks to the families & friendships we make out of our pasts.
Autorenporträt
C. Kubasta experiments with hybrid forms, excerpted text, and shifting voices-her work has been called claustrophobic and unflinching. Her work proceeds in fits and starts, fragments and half-heard, overheard fragments. Her favorite rejection (so far) noted that one editor loved her work, and the other hated it. Her poetry has appeared in So To Speak, Stand, The Notre Dame Review, Tinderbox Poetry Review and Lemon Hound, among other places. A Lovely Box (Finishing Line Press) won the 2014 Wisconsin Fellowship of Poets Chapbook Prize. Her first full-length book All Beautiful & Useless (BlazeVOX, 2015) explores the stories of the accusing girls during the Salem witch trials and growing up with the story of Ed Gein, the notorious Wisconsinite. She teaches, lives and writes in Wisconsin with her beloved John, cat Cliff, and dog Ursula.
