| Summary: | One of our foremost practitioners of ecopoetic exploration, Eleni Sikelianos, bends time and space in this ode to our animal origins. From the cellular to celestial, Your Kingdom is an inquisitive and energetic call to "let the body feel all its own evolution inside." Our limbs grew from the shoulders of salamanders. Hidden motives bind us to cuckoos and caterpillars. Our faces form biological maps while our organs trace the shapes of our animal ancestors. As she studies the wild roots of our past, present and future, Sikelianos forms a poetic ecosystem, delighting in the complexity of our natural lineage in the face of environmental precarity. With wonder and verve, Your Kingdom reconnects us through language to our deeply animal origins, to the cellular essence from which all life emerged. |
