Milk

Paperback

Price: $18.00

Overview

In her latest collection, Dorothea Lasky brings her signature style–a deeply felt and uncanny word-music–to all matters of creativity, from poetry and the invention of new language to motherhood and the production of new life. At once a personal document as it is an occult text, Milk investigates overused paradigms of what it means to be a creator and encapsulates its horrors and joys–setting fire to the enigma that drives the vital force that enables poems, love, and life to happen.

Reviews

"Her blood-red realness howls afresh."–Boston Globe

"She will force you to acknowledge the blackness of the blood pumping underneath your skin or the claustrophobia of loneliness, but she will not allow you to forget there is light, and that it can exist in knowing another person."–Rain Taxi

"Poems that can be as commanding and loud as they can understated and vulnerable."–Publishers Weekly

"Laugh, cry, or shake your head, Lasky cuts to the chase"–Brooklyn Rail

"If the essence is not in what she says, Lasky's poignancy is the result of subtle insights, both endearing and intuitive, suggested by what language leaves out."–Jacket2
