Description

Victoria Redel's Swoon is a collection of poems that explore the complexities of female experience. Here, she tackles the question of Eros as it animates domestic life, embracing both the sweetness and difficulty of intimacy. Through short and extended lyric, prose poem, and circular narrative, Redel refuses formal categorization, instead demanding poetry offer a complex and textured vision of the female experience. The result is a robustly sexy and intelligent book that dares to be daring in its portrayal of love, motherhood, and artistic expression. This is a deeply personal and unafraid exploration of what it means to be a woman, one that will resonate with readers looking for poetry that challenges and rewards.
