Title: Alisoun Sings
Author: Bergvall, Caroline
ISBN: 9781643620015
Publisher: Nightboat Books
Published: 2019
Binding: Quality
Language: English
Condition: New
Poetry 1209356
Publisher Description:
Alisoun Sings finds its starting-point with Chaucer's iconic, proto-feminist Wife of Bath. Her forceful voice leads the way across narratives of genders, and addresses the brutality of social conventions with caustic humor. This labyrinthine text navigates love and protest in landscapes impacted by global warming, systemic violence and solar eclipses. Bergvall continues her previous work creating texts that rest on transhistoric forms of English, beyond its dominance as a global lingua franca, and places her quest in the intersections and migrations of stories and languages.
