Description
Poetry. Jewish Studies. LGBTQIA Studies. Women's Studies. "Lisa Hiton's AFTERFEAST grapples with big stuff—painful history, gorgeous and fraught geographies, elusive sexual identity—in an authentic, dauntless voice that lends to these large subjects a gripping intimacy. To read these poems is to stand among haunted ruins on 'the hot slab of history,' to witness different kinds of survival, how disappeared and durable spaces endure alike in time, and in a mind. I envy readers their first entry into the ripe world of this book. A stunningly mature debut—symphonic and bracing and profound."—Maggie Dietz
