Description
Jos Charles's revolutionary second collection of poetry, feeld, is a lyrical exploration of the complexities of gender and speech. By reclaiming the language of the past, Charles stakes her claim on the narratives that have come before, creating a new narrative of what it means to live inside a marked body. In this electrifying poem, Charles transliterates English in a way that is both Chaucerian in affect and revolutionary in effect. She makes visible what was formerly hidden: trauma, liberation, strength, and joy. The result is a world that is our own, but off-kilter, distinctly queer. Urgent and vital, feeld is a powerful exploration of the human experience, one that will resonate with readers who are looking for a fresh perspective on identity and belonging.
