Synopsis

In this debut collection, Voodoo Inverso, Mark Wagenaar composes a startling mystical imagism and sets it to music, using self-portraits to explore differing physical and spiritual landscapes. He uses a variety of personae--a victim of sex trafficking in Amsterdam, a fichera dancer, a portrait haunted by Dante, a carillonneur of starlight, an elephant in pink slippers remembering its beloved--to silhouette the intricacies and frailties of the body and the world. In a series of "gospels" and "histories"--such as the poems "History of Ecstasy" and "Moth Hour Gospel"--he shines a light on the possibilities of transcendence and transfiguration, weaving together memory and loss with desire and hope.
