Gabrielle Calvocoressi’s Rocket Fantastic: A Poetic Exploration

Description

Persea, paperback

Publication Date: September 18, 2018

Publisher Marketing: Like nothing before it, in Rocket Fantastic explores the landscape and language of the body in interconnected poems that entwine a fabular past with an iridescent future by blurring, with disarming vulnerability, the real and the imaginary. Sorcerous, jazz-tinged, erotic, and wide-eyed, this is a pioneering work by a space-age balladeer.

“A dance of self-discovery, subverting our assumptions of gender and the body. . . Both innovative and sensual, Rocket Fantastic is a vital book for our time.”–Diana Whitney, San Francisco Chronicle
