Ceiling Fan

by Kari Flickinger

Ceiling Fan is a noir-tinged poetic exploration of how the complicated physics of balancing grief with mental illness can destabilize even the most mundane elements of daily life. Following closely in the footsteps of her previous full-length poetry collection, The Gull and the Bell Tower (Femme Salvé Books, 2020), Kari Flickinger’s Ceiling Fan unsettles the senses, presenting a world that defies what we think we know about motion, time, and our ever-shifting perception of ourselves.
