Description
The first collection of Italian poet Jolanda Insanas work to be published in English, featuring transgressive poems that evidence the power of language. Jolanda Insanas Slashing Sounds uses invectives, fragments, epigrams, and epigraphs to construct poems that pulse with the texture of an idiosyncratic Sicilian dialect. The poems in this collection are ferocious, irreverent, strange, snarky, and otherworldly. Insanas commitment to contentiousness, her brutal and skeptical eye, and her preoccupation with language make Insanas poetry particularly arresting. For Insana, there is no subject more worthy of our interest than languages misfires and contradictory impulses-language being the ultimate arrow, forging a direction in the world and forcing a turn toward whatever reality appears in front of you. The first book-length collection of Insanas poetry published in English, Slashing Sounds is a powerful offering that addresses a lack of female Italian voices in anglophone poetry publishing.
