Description

Kelsey Street Press, paperback

Publication Date: January 22, 2025

Publisher Marketing: A collaboration between the artist Cybele Lyle and poet Jocelyn Saidenberg, IF AN ELSEWHERE (The Burrow), is an urgent and searching exploration of intimacy, home, exclusion and yearning.Cybele Lyle’s drawings show it is still possible for the graphic language of suggestive allusion to illuminate a densely intimate poetic text. Jocelyn Saidenberg’s nuanced ruminations express a precise personal algebra of moment-to-moment exchange while Lyle’s forms present embodied experience in which these tensions and pleasures play out. Few writers are as adept at exploring the complex intimacies of relationships in rigorously disciplined terms as Saidenberg. -Johanna Drucker
