Description:
xii, 85 pages ; 23 cm.
Summary:
"Lyrically raw and dangerously unapologetic, Play Dead challenges us to look at our cultivated selves as products of circumstance and attempts to piece together patterns amidst dissociative chaos.
Harris
unearths a ruptured world dictated by violence - a place of deadly what ifs, where survival hangs by a thread. Getting by is carrying bruises and walking around with "half a skull." From "low visibility": I have light in my mouth. I hunger you. You want what comes in drag. a black squirrel in a black tar lane, fresh from exhaust, hot and July's unearthed steam. You want to watch it run over. to study the sog. You want the stink of gristle buried in a muggy weather. I want the faulty mirage. a life of grass. we want the same thing. We want their deaths to break up the sun.
