Beskrivning
"My Reptile"Little frilléd lizardwith your big mouthand your clutch of egg.Pure urge iguana—I wanna wannawanna—heavy petin a moist habitat.Your dewlap licksdown my spine;your creep yearns,yearns your crawl,like a small machinethat you rev andrev and rev untilthe engine floods.Gin and bleach: two clear liquids aiming for purity, bordering the toxic. Catherine Wing's poems are soaked in her cocktail, mixing doubt, loneliness, rough elbows, and razor focus. It riddles, aiming askew for a straight answer: how do we make our way through this world?

Recensioner i media

"Wittily rhymed and bloodily vivid, Wing’s poems of romance and damage show the poet seeking something to 'overwhelm me, a love-in-the-mist sort of time.'"—Publishers Weekly“Catherine Wing’s Gin & Bleach aims to burn us clear (as only corrosives like gin and bleach can do) to a better understanding of our place in the world.”—Barbara Hoffert, Library Journal Pre-Pub Alert
