Censory Impulse

by Erica Kaufman

Censory Impulse is a book-length excavation of the body (both physical and psychological) disrupted. These poems take their calling from the relationship between the neurological and the political, the digestive and the subjective, the gendered and the cyborg. Kaufman's verse is located somewhere between Oliver Sachs, Donna Haraway, & Chris Hables Gray - only in place of scientific hypotheses we see line breaks, metaphorical projections, and "labyrinth authority."

INSTANTLY the censory is FOUND! What's marvelous about this book, and marvelous about the ongoing serial poem here, is to think and FEEL the title's implications on and off reading. Especially later, off reading, out in the world, with her POEMS!
