SWEET BLOODY SALTY CLEAN Francesca Kritikos |
|
|
|
| Description |
A body minimizes and maximizes itself, the flavors are over-saturated and nonexistent,
citizens are famished and gorged, cash is king, and virtue weighs nothing. Characters contained within: shepherds, little girls, baby elephants, Venus flytraps, grocery stores, famine, God, meat, and money. |
| Notes |
“SWEET BLOODY SALTY CLEAN by Francesca Kritikos is a ruthless book about the body's canny
acclimation to anything, even its own death drive... This is a furious text with a keen
sense of self; these poems cut.”
— Niina Pollari, author of Path of Totality “Kritikos writes desire with the precision of Anne Carson, the hunger of Richard Siken, and the stark honesty of Sylvia Plath, but her poetry is all her own... As alive and essential as pleasure itself.” — Lindsay Lerman, author of I'm From Nowhere and What Are You |
