The cicada signifies metamorphosis in this breathtaking, lyrical book, which evokes the spirits of Archilochus, Plato, Empedocles, and Heraclitus. As the translator Brian Sneeden remarks: \"The 'I' in Giannisi's poetry is never static, never a fixed point, but part of a process of rebodying the ambient.\" Yet, despite the fluid, mythic nature of Giannisi's poems, they are also exquisitely rooted in the everyday: the sea heard through a window, the murmur of a distant mechanical crane, a damp wind, a photo of John and Yoko. Giannisi is a poet internationally known for her idiosyncratic eco-poetics, as well as her poetic multimedia works and performances, and most of all for her brilliant vision glowing at the borders of language, voice, place, and memory.\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"New Directions","offers":[{"title":"Cicada | Phoebe Giannisi | Book | 9780811230230 | New | Poetry 1405602","offer_id":48304764977304,"sku":"1405602","price":16.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0492\/1609\/4360\/files\/31HfltiGCLL.jpg?v=1773147666","url":"https:\/\/roundaboutbookstore.com\/products\/cicada","provider":"Roundabout Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
