The poems shape their sense from sound, but do not hesitate to critique\/navigate\/decipher reality with a feminist protest. Associative and dreamy, the poems also prove to be starkly political. They explore how we are miraculously alive in the midst of degrading political and weather systems. Some of the poems derive their initial lexicon from source texts, but they all confront the tenderness and violence that mark our human natures. With subtle humor, word play, and linguistic inventions, Grenier has written a surprising tour de force whose discrete short books, taken together, range from the sexual and sinister to the prayerful and divine.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eValyntina Grenier is a poet and visual artist living in Tucson, Arizona.
