Beskrivning
A sensory-rich collection of poems that conjures magical worlds that combine the gorgeous imaginings of child’s play with the mystery of dark fairy tales.A lyric meditation on childhood, adulthood, parenting, grief, fear, and joy, The Sisters is a book of prose poems that began as bedtime stories.  A kaleidoscopic invocation of imagined lives, these poems transform familiar myths, fables, and fairy tales into whimsical worlds that are a bit more fragile and bit more true. Through a series of prose poems, The Sisters confronts what it means to raise children and grow up amid climate catastrophes, insistent threats of gender-based violence, and the shocks of late-stage capitalism. These are ethereal and eerie stories full of torn edges, a series of dazzling lullabies that will soothe you awake.

Recensioner i media

“'See them,' begins Jordan Windholz's marvelous new collection, The Sisters, and so we do: 'The Sisters in a Forgotten Library,' 'The Sisters in the Dream of a Giant,' 'The Sisters as Poets.' Prismatic and lush, these portraits hover among fable, phantasm, and tender depictions that convey the 'insistent buzz of the day's glass minutes.' They show us the sisters, 'their bodies bright ideas the sky thinks and forgets.' And they show us the semblances that bring the world into relation: 'air shaken into petals,' 'the wind making a door of itself.' Windholz's elegant, imaginative prose poems are mesmerizingly spectral—not like a ghost but like a spectrum of light.”—Zach Savich, author of Momently
