Through a prehistory of early made objects and the voices of Homer's soldiers and civilians at Troy, \"Rivermouth Shouting\" traces the evolution and unmaking of the idea of the stable, separate body, as notions of fixity and boundary are built (by skin, armor, ideation) and unbuilt (by wounding, dying, and practices of unselfing and dereifying).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWhat People Are Saying\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIf you're drowning in the world of things, use this book as a flotation device. Jean Gallagher's contemplative new collection, \u003cem\u003eRivermouth Shouting\u003c\/em\u003e, lets catastrophe speak for itself-through correspondence, deathbeds, and birdsong. These meditations are musical, at times breaking language down to its syllabic particles-\"I'm its roadway. Its road. Its way.\" Whether in the form of emails from Noah's wife regarding the flood and semi-permeability of marriage, or the last thoughts of Troy, spoken by unnamed soldiers from \u003cem\u003eThe Iliad\u003c\/em\u003e, this book intersects life and death, featuring observations of the self that only seem possible as it dissipates. Writing poems bonded to ancient thought in ways that feel contemporary, Gallagher is a singular poet whose many gifts include subtlety and an enigmatic ability to surprise. -\u003cstrong\u003eAlan Felsenthal\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhat a pleasure it is to encounter Jean Gallagher's luminous new collection, \u003cem\u003eRivermouth Shouting\u003c\/em\u003e. Here are spare, elegant, lyric poems that do what only the best poetry can do-register the mind in motion. And what a shining mind it is. Gallagher's poems are lit from within by an idiosyncratic, wild, and vibrant consciousness-a river of \"thought by thought\" that moves along the page to reveal \"what it's like to be alive.\" -\u003cstrong\u003eDeborah Landau\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJean Gallagher \u003c\/strong\u003eis the author of Stubborn, winner of the FIELD Prize; This Minute, winner of the Poets Out Loud Prize; and Start.
