 Forms of Intercession by Jayne Pupek is a collection as unsettling as it is beautiful. In (I) Forms of Intercession, the first of three sections in this imagistically dense, narrative work, we are introduced to gentle-seeming female narrators with a desire for an almost violent rebellion. The women (or woman) in these poems are aware of a magical property in their own bodies, watching the lifeline in their hands deepen or making a potion of hair and feathers with a sense of both longing and simultaneous understanding. This, combined with the sexual, but not at all titillating element the poems often take on, gives the characters in them a shamanistic, earth-mother quality.
Poetry. Ghostly and energetic, Jayne Pupek's poems range in content through an ambivalent abortion, a lover's abandonment, childhood abuse, a bad case of the flu, and her own longings. Each poem's graceful and intense meditations connect to the reader's own world. Arlene Ang says it best: "Jayne Pupek has the uncanny ability to dissect relationships, objects--even situations--and rearrange them according to the blueprint of her secret house of mirrors." Jayne Pupek holds an MA in counseling psychology and has spent most of her professional life in the field of mental health. Her short fiction and poetry have appeared in numerous print and online literary journals. Her work has twice been nominated for the Pushcart Prize. She is the author of two poetry chapbooks: Local Girls (DeadMule, 2007) and Primitive (Pudding House Press, 2004). Her first novel, Tomato Girl, will be published by Algonquin in 2008. Jayne resides near Richmond, VA with her husband, two sons, and a menagerie of animal companions. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
