Beskrivning
Poems that consider the human body as a meeting place of the infinite and the mortal.  Starting with the idea that the human experience is the universe looking back at itself, godhouse takes the notion a few steps further by centering cosmology within a raced and gendered body. Ruth Ellen Kocher’s poems envision this body as a union of god and soul that, within our material world, encompasses love and hate, joy and despair. The body is a site of divine presence made mortal, electrified with the resonance of both the infinite and the human. In godhouse, we encounter the body as a site where the universe is made personal and celebratory, where the celestial endure the complications of flesh and friction forms between the glorious and the monstrous aspects of personhood.

Recensioner i media

“Godhouse reveals the gorgeously pitched trajectory of Kocher’s lyric powers and blazing intellect, where language beguilingly constellates and historizes and frees the body eternally into a vast monument. My admiration is boundless at how these poems transmit the hidden with elegance and brings to fore a complex tenderness I had not known I desired, ‘a viral expansion of light.’”
