2021., Coach House Books Call No: QWF 811.6 B957b Availability:1 of 1 At Your Library Summary Note: "Camus's Meursault and Thelma and Louise meet up under the blazing sun. Obsessed with both Camus's L'étranger and Thelma and Louise, Because the Sun considers violence under the blazing sun. Starting with Meursault's murder of a man on the beach as he is "pressed" by the blinding sun and considering the gendered violence against the victim's sister, Sarah Burgoyne goes on to consider Louise pulling the trigger on Thelma's assailant - all while thinking about the sun, that "unremarkable star" that is a material symbol of pain, an affective backlog we're slung under, pushing through desert after desert. Because the Sun's pastiche of personal and "objective" (often scientific) voices strives to embody both stylistic and formal "relentlessness" by teasing out discursive tonalities that blend and merge into each other, generating a blinding effect, like looking into the sun."--

2016., Mansfield Press Call No: QWF Fic Bur Availability:1 of 1 At Your Library Summary Note: Saint Twin is a collection of story poems, short lyrics, long walks, tiny chapters and fake psalms. The poems explore themes of absurdity, loss, and wonder, and make their way through intuitive leaps from speaker to speaker, scene to scene, sometimes (but not always) hunting for a holy other, or the holiness of the Other. The structure is unique, challenging and pleasurable: over the course of this generous debut collection, sequences begin, disappear, and then reappear, weaving among the stand-alone poems. The poems play with the elements of the fable, myth and drunken reportage, freely using or abandoning traditional elements of syntax and grammar. Saint Twin reveals that ancient pipe slowing cracking under the house during a birthday party.
