Mouths
Mouths by Claire Marie Stancek, published by Noemi Press in 2017, is a collection of poetry that explores the complexities of communication beyond human language and existence. This edition comprises 101 pages and is presented in English. The poems delve into themes of apocalyptic lyricism, intertwining eco-critical and feminist perspectives, while addressing the intricate relationships between humans, animals, and insects.
Readers will find that the poems in Mouths grapple with the challenges of expression through chafing refrains and syntactic disjunctions, employing an accusatory second-person pronoun that engages both the reader and the materiality of the poetry itself. The work examines the intertwined nature of love and violence within various communities, both living and non-living, as it reflects on the past and present. Through its varied forms, the collection invites contemplation on speech, song, eros, and consumption, offering a unique perspective on the connections that shape our world.
Official synopsis Publisher
Poetry. The poems in MOUTHS attempt the impossible task of speaking outside human language and after the end of human life. That they always already fail to do so is thematized in chafing refrains, syntactic disjunctions, and the accusatory second person pronoun, which addresses at once the reader and the poetry’s own uncomfortable materiality. MOUTHS is a manifestation of apocalyptic lyric: experimental, eco-critical, and feminist, its varied forms span human, animal, and insect in ever-shifting relationships of speech, song, eros, and consumption. MOUTHS addresses the inextricability of love and violence in the communities–living and non- living, past and present–that make up our world.
