Helen Or My Hunger

Gale Marie Thompson

4.9/5 (32756 ratings)

Description:In Helen or My Hunger, Gale Marie Thompson explores notions of beauty and the body in ways that illuminate—and damn—both the personal and historical. How do we become fully human in a world that conspires to reduce us both figuratively and literally? Thompson digs into these difficult questions and their tough answers, and the results are nimble, inventive, beautiful poems, as pleasurable to read as they are important to digest.—Lynn Melnick, author of Landscape with Sex and ViolenceEvery woman is a Trojan horse. Her body, crafted, redacted, angled, gets you through the gates. But what does it conceal? Complexity, time, betrayal, urgency? "I AM IN PAIN AND THEREFORE MY WRITING IS THIS WAY" says Thompson’s speaker. The poem, too, a Trojan horse and a "catch-all," a place to bide one's time, to sift through longing, to become liquid again. "Helen, I see myself edging bright to you / I need your lineage / your tender voltage." And we do. See you on the banks of hunger, sisters.—Danielle Pafunda, author of SpiteWe have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
