Now Available: A Sieve Filled with Berries
Liza Neklessa's pamphlet-length poem, A Sieve Filled with Berries, is about desire and nature, the first flush of a love affair, the way the world seems brighter when you might start to see it through someone else's eyes. Liza is interested in feminist discourse, and she works in the space between visual art and poetry with topics of objectification, gender-based violence, and gender stereotypes. Translated by Philippa Mullins, this illustrated edition includes Neklessa's own images, which comment on and enlarge the scope of the poem.
