| Abstract | Like nothing before it, Rocket Fantastic transfigures the landscape and language of gender and the body. Its poems are populated by figures both familial and fabular: a prodigal brother and a relentless father; the Hermit, Dowager, and Major General; and, perhaps most strikingly, the Bandleader, embodiment of sexual, capitalistic, and political dominance. As in her previous books, Gabrielle Calvocoressi shapes a hopeful, fluid future from the seemingly inescapable constraints of the past. Mythic and musical, erogenous yet wide-eyed, this is a dazzling book by a space-age troubadour of American poetry. -- Provided by publisher. |
