So Rise by John Goodby Julia Copus heteronormativity

heteronormativity

Translated from Arabic by Camilo Gómez-Rivas and Allison Blecker

'The challenges of translating elaborate poems from medieval Persian to modern English are legion…  But Mario Petrucci takes on the task with gusto here

her poems continually question how we see and think about the world

So Rise by John Goodby Julia Copus heteronormativitySo, Rise is an ethical enquiry into a teeming world regained by a survivor. The vision won arrives without a word wasted, each salty syllable the world works for is charged with a meaning that only poetry can reach.Kelvin CorcoranSo, with these poems, we also rise and Goodby does this as if language were his new invention. Juggling, balancing, nosing it all out in an all embracing rush. Forget emotion, this is the triumph of system.Peter Finch Red
