Beskrivning
Proprioception tastes of a feral urgency to time, to presence, a need. The poems move through ideas of race, of fear, of sexuality, of life already lived in low-level terror now amplified, of the weight of responsibility, of the burdens of age—trying to find a way to breathe every day in a now permanent upset of an already shaky imbalance, to find new position in spaces erupting with old hate, old jealousies, old greeds.

Recensioner i media

“C. Prudence Arceneaux is a brilliant poet of immense ferocity & velocity. The poems of Proprioception move with muscular grace, surprise, and startle, feeling utterly fresh, unlike anyone else’s poems. How Arceneaux manages to be wry, sexy, contemplative, and rueful all at once, is a wonder. I love the weed pulling! What a gift. Sprung from astonishment, whirling, shifting, pitching a mind into wild new states of being, these poems are alive.”—Naomi Shihab Nye, author of Everything Comes Next and The Tiny Journalist “C. Prudence Arceneaux’s debut unfolds like a taxonomy of desire, ferociously precise in the face of all it risks. Proprioception’s resolute muscularity deals in the erotic, esoteric, and ironic alongside the fusions, the refusals, the lyric and literal unrest only an embodied witness, shorn of self-pity, without a thought of folding, could hold in her hand. Few first collections have redoubled my allegiance to poetry’s audacity, musicality, and vitality like this one.”—Susanna Childress, author of Jagged with Love and Entering the House of Awe and Extremely Yours
