The Little Book of No Consolation (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781736607510)

Poetry. 'How strange it is to live in these bodies /and pretend we are not judged, ' writes Becka McKay in her newest collection, THE LITTLE BOOK OF NO CONSOLATION. McKay's imagination takes us far away from our earthly bodies through dreamscapes of terror and possibility. With a fanciful Dictionary of Misremembered English and mistranslated phrases as her guide, she reimagines Biblical figures, governments, and language's very syntax. McKay spins her poems as though spinning plates, on a pole of syntax all her own, the gyroscopic effect dazzling.--Denise Duhamel
