Its poems are ruinous encounters between traumatic and historical memory; they transfigure the cult of the wound into a mystic frenzy of sex, grief, and noise. \u003cem\u003eStigmata\u003c\/em\u003e draws inspiration from a broad archive of texts and practices: apophatic theology, body horror, gardening, queer theory, classic films, poststructuralism, and bad sex. Together its poems form a counterhistory of the wound, an experiment in fractured memoir and misplaced anatomy that weaponizes the confessional mode, wrenching it from self-narration to approach a violence that breaks language and bodies apart. Taking a cue from New Narrative writing, \u003cem\u003eStigmata\u003c\/em\u003e fuses the \"high\" to the \"low\" - the \"sacred\" of theory and theology to the \"profane\" of leaking and lust. The result is a treacherous adventure, helped along by a bitter sense of humour, to the limits of faith and body.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Scott Jackshaw\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1772016918\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781772016918\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Talonbooks\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/16\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 96\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"Scott Jackshaw","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46881124319487,"sku":"9781772016918","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_cf166668-1f60-4a7a-aba8-996f9e659a27.jpg?v=1747970749","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/stigmata-scott-jackshaw-9781772016918","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
