Beskrivning
An award-winning poet writing through violence, solace, and hope Luiza Flynn-Goodlett's Mud in Our Mouths illuminates how we are all enmeshed in a web of violence and love. As the speaker of the collection drives cross-country to visit her family of origin in Tennessee, she reckons with the tensions between her current and past selves and the many ways violence - interpersonal, societal, and environmental - has shaped her life. She struggles to find meaning, questioning the ethics of locating faith in a natural world she is unintentionally destroying, and grapples with her complicity in systems of power and oppression as a white Southern woman. Ultimately, she rejects the idea of genetic family as a place of solace instead, she cleaves to the liberation and joy of connections forged outside those strictures, where intimacy is freely chosen rather than preordained.

Recensioner i media

"Mud in Our Mouths elegiacally renders a queer experience of small-town America with care for her subjects, attention to the socioeconomic and sociocultural factors at work, and a precision of language and lineation. The poems consider the ephemeral: places and people once known, the people one used to be." - Emilia Phillips, author of Nonbinary Bird of Paradise"I love it when a poem's shape and content collide - when I'm asked to open to more than what, at first, I perceive. Luiza Flynn-Goodlett's Mud in our Mouths is a queer ecology in the language of wind. These exquisitely controlled lines simultaneously hold it all— threat, violence, loss, love, joy, and even provisional/grace - while spilling, like seeds, to become bodies born of light." - TC Tolbert, author of The Quiet Practices
