Poetry. LGBT Studies. "let's begin/ there are mental facts/ as potent physical facts" begins OBEDIENCE, the most recent collection of poems by nationally renowned poet and visual artist kari edwards. A kaleidoscopic rumination on "bodies of resistance" to the relentless erasures of time, OBEDIENCE gathers its materials equally from the physical world and analytical accounts of it to offer a rhythmic disruption of the relative real, a progressive troubling of the phenomenal world, from gross material to the infinitesimal. "what time is it you say/ split between fingertips/ and what bleeds now"--from OBEDIENCE.

I'm only putting books up here I liked because when I get a book I don't like I don't read it all the way through.
Do you? That's silly if you do.
I'd rather piss barbed wire than read a book I don't like.
But kari edwards will carve your heart out and replace it with a tick tick tick of something close to exploding.
