The speakers of Oracle occupy the outer-borough cityscape of New York's Staten Island, where they move through worlds glittering with refuse and peopled by ghosts—of a dead lover, of a friend lost to suicide, of a dog with glistening eyes. Marvin's haunting, passionate poems explore themes of loss, of the vulnerability of womanhood in a world hostile to it, and of the fraught, strangely compelling landscape of adolescence.

Poesi inom Skonlitteratur

"Poems finely tuned ... full of inventive echoes and spring-loaded syntax." -- Dialogist "She takes no prisoners." -- NPR "Intense and intimate." -- Rumpus "Channels the colorful voices of Staten Island." -- Vanity Fair "Spectral, charged poems: a wild, ferocious bunch capable of emotional darkness, bound by a strong poetic I ... a successful call to arms." -- Publisher's Weekly "These are poems of feeling, memory, and calamity, of a life lived near the edge and an edge that nevertheless always resolves itself into a haunting ethical music. This is a wonderful collection of poems. It makes a powerful claim on the reader at every turn, on every page." -- Eavan Boland
