Synopsis

Winner of the Fall 2015 Black River Chapbook Competition
A long poem in two parts, Retribution Binary is an unearthing of trauma and its many fractures. Baumann explores the psychological and spiritual mayhem of the loss of body ownership, how one both takes that back and can never take it back: " Hands laid on the body lay still in the body. Ghost leeches parasites of rotten wanting." Retribution Binary' s splinters dig deep, burrowing also into the psyche of the perpetrator. The text at once humanizes and exposes the criminal greed and apathy in him: " If the body is a crime Hell / His lips solemn His head whole / Her age is an appetite."
