Description
Poetry. Women's Study. California Interest. A redacted atlas of longing, a transcontinental tour guided by eros, ABEYANCE, NORTH AMERICA is an exploration of submission and desire. Moving between real and imaginary spaces, the poems comprise a travelogue both geographical and emotional. Novak interrogates the ways in which place can amplify the erotic, and how fantasies can interrupt or alter landscapes.
