rootpoems

by Carrie Lorig, Never Angeline Nørth

“rootpoems is a way of looking up through, over at, and together with another person, a person who themselves have roots you want to touch. Touch these roots. Let Lorig & Woods “break the animal in half and wear its body hair,” get in, get down here with these roots, these two kind open-mouthed flailing explosions, these mammals exchanging arms. The dead in the ground add to the noise of us together. In these poems, these warm dirt bags, that noise is the love we feel in the disruptions in/between being(s). “this is your spirit world.” No doubt, rootpoems is the vulnerable, pleasurable destruction of any alternative.”
