Touch to Affliction |
|
A Lambda Literary Award Finalist for Lesbian Poetry in 2006. Author: Nathalie Stephens Publication Date: September 2006 Paperback. Touch To Affliction is a text obsessed with ruins: the ruins of genre, of language, of the city, of the body. The history of the twentieth century is a history of barbarism, and Nathalie Stephens walks through its midst, experiencing through her own body the crumbled buildings, the desiccated cities, the eviscerated language and devastated humanity of our time, calling out in passing to those before her who have contemplated atrocity: Martin Buber, Henryk Gorecki, Simone Weil. In the end, it considers what we are left with— indeed, what is left of us— as both participants in and heirs to the twentieth century. Tags: |
