The Ghost Manada (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780997952407)

Poetry. Marci Nelligan writes: 'I don't know what I am but I am not this body only; every woman a distance from her skin by some measure of the measure of the world.' With Cormac McCarthy's Blood Meridian as both inspiration and site of interrogation Nelligan considers erasure and displacement of the female body in the ethos of the West. Through alluring lyric and visual poetics she opens doors, hinges, utterances. Read THE GHOST MANADA to learn 'why witches salt their thresholds.' This haunted text resides where words break open 'like feathers ripped from breasts, like beds inside beds--' . This book forges a passage and invokes the gestational, the birth of a necessary equity.--Laynie Browne
