The Shining - Dorothea Lasky

Popis produktu

As labyrinthine as its namesake, Dorothea LaskyÂ’s The Shining is an ekphrastic horror lyric that shapes an entirely unique feminist psychological landscape. Here, Lasky guides us through the familiar rooms of the Overlook Hotel, both realized and imagined, inhabiting characters and spaces that have been somewhat flattened in Stephen KingÂ’s text or Stanley KubrickÂ’s film adaptations. Ultimately, LaskyÂ’s poems point us to the ways in which language is always haunted—by past selves, poetic ancestors, and paradoxical histories.Â
