Description
Systems for the Future of Feeling by Kimberly Grey (Persea Books, paperback)
Publication Date: December 8, 2020
Publisher Marketing: These inventive and agonizing poems look, in heartbreaking paradox, to language to explore its efforts and inadequacies, as they grapple with disintegrating love and surging terror in modern society. Urgently, Kimberly Grey explores the need for empathy and consolation–our desire (and responsibility) as beings in the world to express the inexpressible, comprehend the incomprehensible, bear the unbearable. Communing throughout with literary forebears–Anne Carson, Jack Gilbert, Sina Queyras, Gertrude Stein–Grey looks to build “language systems” in order to help us create relevant expressions for expressing awe, confusion, bewilderment, nostalgia, horror, and joy.
