Synopsis

Tomorrowland is a book-length poem of bodily transit and colonial forgetting. Its names and events perpetually arrive in a new world, whose versions here combine promised lands and historical suicide. Eula moves among these real and imagined place-times with other symbolic names and unnamed figures, and Jack plays death. The primary formal note is the interrupted iambic.

A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

Lisa Samuels grew up in the U.S., Europe, and the Middle East. Her first poetry book THE SEVEN VOICES (O Books, 1998) emerged alongside her PhD dissertation (Virginia 1997), a study of modernist poetry and critical practice. She has also published five poetry books with Shearsman; a letterpress book of poems and drawings, Mama Mortality Corridos (Holloway, 2010); several poetry chapbooks; a childhood memoir, ANTI M (Chax Press, 2013); and an experimental novel, Tender Girl (Dusie, 2015). Her soundwork includes a 2-CD version of her book TOMORROWLAND (Shearsman, 2009), now being made into a film by director Wes Tank, and her writing has inspired musical scores by composer Frédéric Pattar and others. Her essays focus on transculturalism, genre, identity and the body, the digitas, and imagining what we don't know, and her editing work includes A TRANSPACIFIC POETICS, co- edited with Sawako Nakayasu from Litmus Press. In 2006 she moved from the U.S. to Aotearoa/New Zealand, where she teaches writing, literature, and theory and lives with her family in Tamaki Makaurau/Auckland.
