Zirconia

ISBN:
Category : Literary Collections
Languages : en
Pages : 88
Book Description
Chelsey Minnis's formal invention and wild personae represent a progressive yet individualized position in the galaxy of truly contemporary poetry. Zirconia's female speaker is by turns fatigued, charmed, wishful, battered, sly, perverse, and omnipotent. These poems engage a material world not unlike ours yet featuring a phantasmagorically elliptical relationship to the dimension of real action. Her speaker is detached, but alive to the poignancy of detachment, and through the "silver lips of a feverish child" invites connectivity by means of tenderness and brutality. Long pauses, enforced by strings of gemlike punctuation, allow for the reader's digestion of hilarious, frightened, sometimes frightening substance. One is compelled to follow trails of feminine intuition, savagery, ennui, fantasy, and intimacy to their diabolical, fruitful conclusions. Zirconia is accessible, confrontational, hilarious, occasionally shocking, never ever dull, and often extremely moving.

Pages : 153
Book Description
And Quiet Flows the Teesta & Other Poems is a collection of poems that are based on themes as diverse as love, politics, and science. As the title of the anthology suggests, the book seeks to highlight the plight of the river Teesta, which is culturally significant and a major river in the Sikkim-North Bengal riparian region of the Indian sub-continent. The river worshipped by the indigenous Lepcha community has been exploited for hydel power generation in the face of opposition by the peace-loving community and environmental activists who are concerned by the ecological repercussions of the development. Drawing inspiration from Lepcha community myth, the book begins with stifled love between Teesta and Rangeet rivers and celebration of nature’s beauty by the poet. The poems run through the entire spectrum of the poet’s experience affected by the events occurring around him, from the perspective of his personal love to the challenges posed by decadent politics, environmental pollution, and the Corona pandemic. In his anthology, the poet weaves a child’s curiosity with a lover’s intense passion tempered by a philosopher’s sagacity. Peppered with philosophical, satirical, romantic, and imaginative elements, the anthology presents an eclectic feast of different shades of human emotion to be relished by the readers.
