The Galaxy Is a Dance Floor

Poetry. Art. Bianca Lynne Spriggs, a poet and visual artist (among other things), records, catalogs, and mythologizes our all-at-once grotesque and heart-wrenching present. Her irresistible voice imparts upon her readers the natural world, the cosmos, our hearts, all retransmitted through a prism of sensuous and enchanted language. In THE GALAXY IS A DANCE FLOOR, we encounter "a nursery for unborn stars." We are asked to consider: "You think the cosmos was engineered / by elements that always perform / like the rest?" Before you realize it, Spriggs will be "feasting on the savory red sugar of you."
