A practice of radical collaboration, failure, and renewal. A world of \"Miss You\" poems opening a portal to all those we've lost and would love to visit for a while. In Gabrielle Calvocoressi's latest collection, \u003cem\u003eThe New Economy\u003c\/em\u003e, poems are haunted by the ghosts of loved ones and childhood memories, by changing landscapes and bodies. Calvocoressi's own figure is examined--investigating the desire to protect the body one is born with and the longing to have been born in another. Cisterns sing with the musicality of a poet who understands both the power of sound and silence--those quiet spaces inviting us to consider the words we cannot hear. \"The days I don't kill myself are extraordinary\" one poems says. \"Why don't we have a name for it?\" Lyrical and unafraid, \u003cem\u003eThe New Economy\u003c\/em\u003e invites us to name our fears and sorrows, to write to who or what has left us, to create practices that can hold both the darkness and light of this (in)finite life.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eGabrielle Calvocoressi\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of \u003ci\u003eThe Last Time I Saw Amelia Earhart\u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci\u003e, \u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003eApocalyptic Swing\u003c\/i\u003e (a finalist for the LA Times Book Prize), and \u003ci\u003eRocket Fantastic\u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci\u003e, \u003c\/i\u003e winner of the Audre Lorde Award for Lesbian Poetry.
