Produktbeschreibung

First printing: 2,000 copies.

BK Fischer is a poet, literary critic, and teacher who served as the poetry editor of Boston Review from 2012 to 2018. She currently teaches at Columbia University's School of the Arts.

Ceive is Fishcer's fifth collection of poems. Her previous collection, Radioapocrypha (Mad Creek Books, 2018), won the 2018 The Journal/Wheeler Prize. Her first book, the novella-in-verse Mutiny Gallery (Truman State, 2011) won the T.S. Eliot Prize.

Fisher's award-winning books draw on classic literary and religious texts for inspiration, giving familiar stories a modern-day twist through feminist remixes and social commentary on the present day.

The poems in Ceive follow a chartable journey along the Atlantic coast: the Lower Hudson, New York Harbor, Montauk, Nantucket, Nova Scotia, the Atlantic Provinces, Newfoundland, to Greenland and beyond. Strong regional appeal along the Eastern Seaboard.

Climate change, refugee experiences, flooding, and rising sea levels are major themes in this collection. Strong appeal for Atlantic states hit hard by hurricanes in recent years, as well as in coastal cities along the West Coast, cities with large refugee populations, and the environmentally conscious Pacific Northwest.
