In her latest book, NEW LIFE, Lambda Award-winning poet Ana Bozičevic writes, For my birthday I want a cake/revealing the color of my soul. Never saccharine, these poems are by turns cheeky and heartfelt, grounded and wistful, and above allsurprising. New Life is a book that is Dantesque in its ability to commune with the dead without becoming fixed in the past. Instead, the poems here have a distinct sense of nonlinear time, where each line feels like an ancient bone discovered, only to be reassembled into a chimera of another self. In this way, Bozičevic continually greets herself as a stranger, reminding us that in some respects every poem is a love poem.
Bozičevics determination to expose the unsettling truths of her own desireher own materialism, sexuality, and shamemakes for a collection that is all the more stunning for its willingness to place its author between the crosshairs of her review for RISE IN THE FALL, Publishers Weekly
Poetry. LGBTQ+ Studies. Womens Studies.
