{"product_id":"stigmata-9781772016918","title":"Stigmata","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe poems in \u003cem\u003eStigmata\u003c\/em\u003e are ruinous encounters between traumatic and historical memory. They transfigure the cult of the wound into a mystic frenzy of sex, grief, and noise. Drawing inspiration from a broad archive of texts and practices - apophatic theology, body horror, gardening, queer theory, classic films, poststructuralism, and bad sex - \u003cem\u003eStigmata\u003c\/em\u003e forms a counterhistory of the wound, an experiment in fractured memoir and misplaced anatomy that weaponizes the confessional mode, wrenching it from self-narration to approach a violence that breaks language and bodies apart. \u003cem\u003eStigmata\u003c\/em\u003e fuses the \"high\" to the \"low\" - the \"sacred\" of theory and theology to the \"profane\" of leaking and lust. The result is a treacherous adventure through the cross-currents of sexual deviancy and religion, helped along by a bitter sense of humour, to the limits of faith and body.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eJackshaw, Scott:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - \u003cp\u003eScott Jackshaw is a poet, scholar, and editor from Edmonton, Alberta.
