| Summary: | ""I want to keep more of my life; I want presence; I want to live; I want to be receptive in and to the much of life that is 'insignificant'--that's nothing or close to nothing: the habitual, the ordinary, the routine, the domestic." --Aisha Sasha John A collection that takes dailiness and its objects--the body and the home and their maintenance; relationships as its subject. This, for many of us, for the poet, is most of life. In total, the quotidian's potential for enchantment is a function of a receptivity developed by the author as a choreographer, performer, and poet. The work also reflects the natural juxtaposition of scales of substance and subject (grief, snacks, pets, break-ups, travel, addiction, recovery, and more) that give any particular life its singularity."-- |
