Alice Notley presents a feminist epic: a bold journey into the deeper realms. Alette, the narrator, finds herself underground, deep beneath the city, where spirits and people ride endlessly on subways, not allowed to live in the world above. Traveling deeper and deeper, she is on a journey of continual transformation, encountering a series of figures and undergoing fragmentations and metamorphoses as she seeks to confront the Tyrant and heal the world. Using a new measure, with rhythmic units indicated by quotations marks, Notley has created a \"spoken\" text, a rich and mesmerizing work of imagination, mystery, and power.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Boekhandel Perdu","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43676248703190,"sku":"","price":22.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/2782\/9974\/products\/91K7F4xp8oL.jpg?v=1666456861"},{"product_id":"or-on-being-the-other-woman","title":"or, on being the other woman","description":"\u003cp\u003eSimone White\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIn \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\"\u003eor, on being the other woman\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, Simone White considers the dynamics of contemporary black feminist life. Throughout this book-length poem, White writes through a hybrid of poetry, essay, personal narrative, and critical theory, attesting to the narrative complexities of writing and living as a black woman and artist. She considers black social life—from art and motherhood to trap music and love—as unspeakably troubling and reflects on the degree to which it strands and punishes black women. She also explores what constitutes sexual freedom and the rewards and dangers that come with it. White meditates on trap music and the ways artists such as Future and Meek Mill and the sonic waves of the drum machine convey desire and the black experience. Charting the pressures of ordinary black womanhood, White pushes the limits of language, showing how those limits can be the basis for new modes of expression.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Boekhandel Perdu","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43676248932566,"sku":"","price":20.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/2782\/9974\/products\/81UmaL74YgL._AC_UL900_SR615_900.jpg?v=1666868622"},{"product_id":"boat","title":"Boat","description":"\u003cp\u003eLisa Robertson\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIn 2004, boldly original poet Lisa Robertson published a chapbook, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eRousseau’s Boat\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cem\u003e,\u003c\/em\u003e poems culled from years of notebooks that are, nevertheless, by no means autobiographical.

Her work is less a self-exposure than a set of  incantations.  These poems are spells for a death that might live eternally, for what Vestrini offers readers is a fundamental paradox: how to create, through writing, an enduring extinction.  Her poems are not soft or brooding laments.  They are bricks hurled at empires, ex-lovers, and any saccharine-laced lie that parades itself as the only available truth.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Boekhandel Perdu","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47319643980106,"sku":"","price":20.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/2782\/9974\/files\/9780999719831.jpg?v=1700165134"},{"product_id":"locomotrix","title":"Locomotrix","description":"\u003cp\u003eAmelia Rosselli (trans. Jennifer Scappettone)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA musician, musicologist, and self-defined “poet of research,” Amelia Rosselli (1930–96) was one of the most important poets to emerge from Europe in the aftermath of World War II. Following a childhood and adolescence spent in exile from Fascist Italy between France, England, and the United States, Rosselli was driven to express the hopes and devastations of the postwar epoch through her demanding and defamiliarizing lines. Rosselli’s trilingual body of work synthesizes a hybrid literary heritage stretching from Dante and the troubadours through Ezra Pound and John Berryman, in which playful inventions across Italian, English, and French coexist with unadorned social critique. In a period dominated by the confessional mode, Rosselli aspired to compose stanzas characterized by a new objectivity and collective orientation, “where the I is the public, where the I is things, where the I is the things that happen.” Having chosen Italy as an “ideal fatherland,” Rosselli wrote searching and often discomposing verse that redefined the domain of Italian poetics and, in the process, irrevocably changed the Italian language. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis collection, the first to bring together a generous selection of her poems and prose in English and in translation, is enhanced by an extensive critical introduction and notes by translator Jennifer Scappettone.
