Vulgar Remedies by Anna Journey
5.0
Anna Journey's essay collection, [b:An Arrangement of Skin: Essays|30838558|An Arrangement of Skin Essays|Anna Journey|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1471312941s/30838558.jpg|51436592], is one of my top picks for 2017. I read it back in the spring and was blown over by her voice, her settings, and her clever phrasing. After reading that, I was very happy to see that she also has three collections of poetry.
Happy to report that her brilliance continues here. Her metaphors, her constructions - they just jump right off the page. Love her work and I will return to this collection again and again.
Highlights (amidst a spectacular book):
"Elegy Where I Initially Refuse to Eat Sand"
"Base Notes in Perfume Are Almost Always of Animal Origin"
"Wool Blanket Covered in Nipples"
"Black Porecelain French Telephone"
"Nightmare before the Foreclosure"
"The History in Coffee"
