Oracle - Poems (Hardcover)

The speakers of Oracle occupy the outer-borough cityscape of New York s Staten Island, moving through worlds glittering with refuse and peopled by ghosts. Cate Marvin s haunting, passionate poems explore themes of loss, the vulnerability of womanhood in a world hostile to it, and the fraught, strangely compelling landscape of adolescence. From A Thousand Degrees It s called a thousand degrees. Think about love. Seemed what the clutch of pot-bellied women in striped shirts were muttering drunk among one another as I skulked past them on a 2 a.m. street s sidewalk buckling with the heave of July s late heat, skitterish and still drunk from cheap wine I d sucked down in the City."
