Description - A Conjoined Book by Karla Kelsey
Karla Kelsey'sA Conjoined Bookhinges togethertwo texts-AftermathandBecome Tree, Become Bird-to create a meditation on the nature of aboutness. Aftermath unfolds after an unnamed ecological/emotional fracture, creating a landscape of rift where the "I" imagines herself as "she," and perceptions weave into memory and fiction. Become Tree, Become Bird grafts the Brothers Grimm'sThe Juniper Treeto the body ofAftermath, reworking what has splintered into a variation of fairy tale. Throughout A Conjoined Book, Kelsey's condensed imagery, shifting viewpoints, and interwoven formal structures set lyric and narrative a-shimmer. Blending experiment and tradition, this book will appeal to a wide audience interested in seeing how fairy tale, philosophy, ecology, narratology, history. As Julie Carr writes: "horror, elegy, mystery, fairy tale, lyric, treatise, fragment meet one another with all their intensities of emotion and intellect."
