New! 'A wild romp of an epic, this book sings to us of unperceived formations of language and culture. A Little Pretty Personality summons writings from across eras to assay a communal hymn that examines historical trajectories and constructions of romance, love and gender. Its poems reveal a language in constant fracture, which amalgamates wordplay, archaisms, allusions ranging from the Quijote to pop lyrics, and re-writings of poems by Federico García Lorca, César Vallejo and Alejandra Pizarnik. 'Squirting multiplications,'this book leaves 'stretch marks' on language, as a voice emerges between echoes and caresses of past lives. As a wandering narrator announces, shifting across landscapes, 'don’t be afraid / of not having the keys.'' ~ Publisher.
