| Summary: | In Stephen Sexton's remarkable debut, the video games of his childhood are once again a way to slip through the looking glass, to be in two places at once, to be two people at once. In these poems about the death of his mother, this moving, otherworldly narrative takes us through the levels of Super Mario World, whose flowered landscapes bleed into our world, and ours, strange with loss, bleed into it. This moving, otherworldly narrative is a daring exploration of memory, grief and the necessity of the unreal. |
