Produktinformationen "If This Makes You Nervous"
"Byrne's fourth collection of poems offer what she describes as an homage to her art-immersed upbringing, an ekphrastic weave. The poems challenge perception as each engages in a visual dialogue between the speaker, her childhood, society, and 66 artists. The book's lyrical narratives unfold with psychological urgency and candor, and with linguistic invention as they re-encounter each artist's unique oeuvre: a balancing act between beauty and terror, between what is seen and what remains invisible. Byrne's poems feature the inseparable personal and political, mapping out emotional, spatial, and gender orientations within the confines of our visual culture. Her longing and loss color-fields prevail, always leading the reader in unexpected directions. With grace and galvanic energy, If This Makes You Nervous is a devotional look into shifting identity in a preteen's memory, history's collective body as turbulent mimesis while addressing what is "connected and accounted for" in the imagination's relativistic measure of time"--
