A record of daily bewilderments and accidental concessions to hope after a momentous loss.
In frank, mesmeric lyrics, Death Styles navigates the opposing forces of survival and grief, finding a way to press against death\'s interface, to step the wrong way out of the grave..
Setting herself the task of writing a poem a day and accepting a single icon as her starting point, however unlikely--River Phoenix, Mary Magdalene, a backyard skunk--Mcsweeney follows each inspiration to the point of exhaustion and makes it through each difficult day.
In this follow-up to her award-winning collection, Toxicon and Arachne , Joyelle Mcsweeney proposes a link between style and survival, even in the gravest of circumstances.
