Green of All Heads
Green of All Heads
*The Whiting Award-winning poet returns*Written over the
span of a decade, GREEN OF ALL HEADS is a work of formal range and
emotional urgency. In the coinciding wakes of tragic loss and new motherhood, Aracelis
Girmay examines the entangled temporalities of an aging parent and newly born children.
This vital work grapples with what it means to attend to life in the context of
corporate industries of birth and death. In language shaped by these pressures,
she turns to what is small, unruly, nationless, plural -- flowers, speech -- to reach
toward new relational and political possibility. Away from the fixed and
monumental, and toward that which is fleeting, she writes: "-- i am learning to
lift -- my voice -- like a flower -- in -- a field of flowers --" The result is
a language broken and emboldened by love.
