Astrobolism

Poetry. Women's Studies. ASTROBOLISM looks to distill the relations between private and public happenings on a consistently feminist register. Crumpacker is a poet seeking to clarify political concerns, to tenderly prod the damage we live in and around, the beauties we take for granted, the ways our physical selves smudge into porous damaging/nourishing communal entities.

"When Caroline Crumpacker announces, 'I give to thee this world of mine. Undone... Redone...' believe her. Her poetic interrogations of corporeality blast narrative pieties. Everything you thought you knew multiplies. These poems reconfigure sensation and understanding so that we can recognize more of our modular reactions to the world. Read her and thank her."—G.E.
