<b>A fascinating new work from an internationally renowned poet</b><p></p><p>Acclaimed for her visionary incantatory verse and her experimental ethos Anne Waldman's newest book-length poem is an allegory of a radical spirit in lockdown dominated by Deciders and Imposters who threaten the future of poetry and its archive. A doppelganger nightmare ensues: the imposter Anne is a succubus and the original Anne has to break free from a metaphorical castle of torture and psychological domination. There are travels through Vedic cosmology and ancient Japan before resolution on a treeless tundra where fragile life forms struggle to survive. Waldman's oracular poem is a witty meditation on identity theft and a searing plea for the primacy of imagination and for collective sanity in our provocative yet precarious time.</p>
