Bøger af Jennifer Davis Michael

Framed by the claustrophobic experience of the Covid-19 pandemic, these poems share a concern with the fragility of the earth and our bodies on the earth, as well as the webs we weave through virtual means of connection. Michael draws on Biblical and mythological allusions as well as personal anecdotes, in both formal and free verse, to chart the porous boundaries of our current world and to create a space for mutual dwelling, with all the risks entailed in that cohabitation.

These poems explore the bonds of love and family, the liminal spaces at the beginning and end of life, and the power of words to both make and complicate the connections among human beings.
