Synopsis

Signs of Subversive Innocents travels the depth of human experience from the celebratory to the delusional. This debut collection by Cora Siré tells of characters and realms, both distant and familiar, with vibrant intensity and lyricism. The poems speak of physical and metaphorical signs -- omens, gestures, creations and other markings or traces of human existence -- and the impulse to subvert destiny, the tension between actuality and desire that underlies beauty, terror, desperation and triumph. Uniquely structured around a quartet set in an abandoned marble quarry, the poems resonate for their ingenuity and range while evoking the search for connection in a complex world.
