No longer gateway to the masculine artist's destiny, \u003cem\u003eNadja\u003c\/em\u003e becomes agent of her own evolution. The poems consider what happens when we no longer equate the hospital with the tomb, but understand it as generative site. Nadja rolls her ex-lover on a gurney through a city on fire. She trawls construction sites, nurses' brows, and apple trees. We pick up the tin-can extension, wreck ourselves on the delirious island, consider the dishonest belief that every day must include \/ pain, and descend a massive swath of silk. \u003cem\u003eSpite\u003c\/em\u003e has no fear of ugly feelings, nor of wonder.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eExcerpts appear at: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eDiode Poetry\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eTypo Magazine\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003ePafunda, Danielle:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - Danielle Pafunda is the author of eight other books of prose and poetry: 'The Book of Scab' (Ricochet Editions), 'Beshrew' (Dusie Press), 'The Dead Girls Speak in Unison' (Bloof Books), 'Natural History Rape Museum' (Bloof Books), 'Manhater' (Dusie Press), 'Iatrogenic' (Noemi Press), 'My Zorba' (Bloof Books), and 'Pretty Young Thing' (Soft Skull Press).
