Bathing on the Roof - Tracey Rhys

Popis produktu

Bathing on the Roof reclaims the Biblical Bathsheba as an everywoman of the ages, creating a collage of female experience in all its sensual complexity. Whether finding herself living on the streets, arriving in the Garden of Eden, giving birth, or shopping in Beverly Hills, Bathsheba negotiates the edgy boundaries of her relationships with men while navigating the confines of her body. Act-of-God-turned-celebrity diva, Flood likes to make an impression. She wakes up on the wrong side of the bed, makes a Severn Bridge of herself, parties with lightning, pouts for the paparazzi and drowns far more than she means to. Explored through the lens of the media and fame, these poems imagine how Mother Nature might respond to humanity's interference, were she as flawed and determined as humanity itself.
