Description

Judas Goat Poems by Gabrielle Bates is a powerful and evocative collection of forty poems that explore the complexities of intimate relationships, desire, and identity. With great humanity, precision, and emotional depth, Bates delves into themes of betrayal, violence, and young womanhood, as well as the "forbidden felt language" of sexual and sacred love. Through her poetry, Bates conjures encounters with figures from scripture, domesticated animals eyeing the wild, and mothering as a shape-shifting force. Her work questions what it means to love another person and how to exorcise childhood fears, all while the Deep South haunts in the background. This unflinching collection establishes Bates as an important voice, offering a nuanced exploration of the risks that desire necessitates. With its unforgettable lines and spellbinding language, Judas Goat Poems is a worthwhile read for anyone interested in poetry that tackles the complexities of human experience with precision and emotional depth.
