Description
“What a wild ballet Jill Khoury gives us in Suites for the Modern Dancer—poems of a blind girl with her white cane, and her sense of how people see her when they think she can’t see them—and how wrong they are; poems of Rose Valley, a mental hospital where the girls whose bodies fill this remarkable first collection become 'sphere and feathers, thorns, knotholes, electricity, fractured light.' I love the rage in this voice against all the ways in which we as women, as people with disabilities, are defined, constrained, erased, but I love even more the way Khoury’s jagged yet precise lyric traces the ineluctable way these bodies transcend expectations, flaring out into a gorgeous theatre in which the soul is untethered and it is beautiful. This is a fierce book and a necessary one.”
—Sheila Black, author of Wen Kroy and co-editor of Beauty is a Verb: The New Poetry of Disability
