When \u00c9ireann Lorsung writes of death and dying, of \u201cbodies in the fields becoming the fields,\u201d it\u2019s the simplicity that\u2019s most haunting. After a fire, \u201csome of their skin moved off of them as they ran, a very \/ simple melting\u2026\u201d But these poems don\u2019t just witness; they also resist and serve as models for resistant lives. Pushing back against form and grammar, constructions of time and geography, Lorsung traces decades of technological, geopolitical, and cultural shifts through generations and across continents as networks of dominance continue to be stubbornly upheld.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My third collection, The Century, will be out from Milkweed in mid-October.
