Publisher Description In raw, lyrical poems, Host explores parasitic relationships—between men and women, sons and mothers, and humans and the Earth—and considers their consequences. Throughout this collection, flukes abound, both chance occurrences and flatworms changing their hosts behavior. How much control do we have over our lives? To what extent are we being controlled? And how much does it matter in the end? Revealing the unvarnished pain of mistreatment—whether inflicted maliciously or accidentally—Lisa Fay Coutley examines legacies of abuse in poems that explore how trauma parasitizes bodies, infecting the text, repeating in language and image the injuries the body has been subjected to. How can people heal from intergenerational trauma—and how can humans mend themselves when they live on a planet they abuse daily?Ask me why light can pour warm through a cold bay window while water under sun is dark as a closed door. A mans handerases a girls thigh. The trees start starvingthemselves into everyones favorite color.Her darkest room digs itselfbelow her throne. The body knows no wrong move. The more love, the more. —Excerpt from "Oubliette" Author Biography Lisa Fay Coutley is the author of tether; Errata, winner of the Crab Orchard Series in Poetry Open Competition; In the Carnival of Breathing, winner of the Black River Chapbook Competition; and Small Girl: Micromemoirs; and the editor of the grief anthology In the Tempered Dark: Contemporary Poets Transcending Elegy.
