Lyric sexology. Vol. 1 / Trish Salah. by Salah, Trish. Roof Books, distributed by Small Press Distribution, [2014] Call #: 819.16 S159L v.1 Subjects Gender identity -- Poetry.   Lebanese Canadians -- Poetry.   Canadian poetry -- Women authors.   Canadian poetry -- 21st century. ISBN:  9781931824569 (pbk.) 1931824568 (pbk.) Description:  137 p. ; 23 cm. Notes:  "Roof Books are published by Segue Foundation"--title page verso. Poems. Bibliography:  Includes bibliographical references (page 136) Summary:  "Written between lyric and language poetries, and exploring the transgender fantasies encoded in feminist, autobiographical, anthropological and psychoanalytic archives. Drawing upon Freud's interpretation of the memoirs of the jurist Daniel Paul Schreber, alongside gender theories, polemics and case studies dating from the end of the 20th century to beginning of the 21st, Trish Salah samples and remixes the clinic and the club, dystopia and draughty apartments, re-presenting an emergent transgender subject in all (or at least some) of her/hir/his/their messy contrariness and queerly multiple biomythographies. One might even call this composite a syncretic strategy for building a conceptual, poetic world in a single volume. But, inevitably, more is left out than in. Salah revels in the conflicts of undermining specialization: "i need to take a shower. i'm troubled by / increasingly distorted fanfictions, psychotic or melancholy, / with the loss of canon." Nevertheless her text shimmies its way through the regulatory regimes of race, class and genre by always bringing us back to glib reality: "we all need haircuts though." Salah was born and raised in Halifax, Nova Scotia, and is of Lebanese and Irish Canadian heritage. She studied creative writing at Concordia University in Montreal, and subsequently completed a Ph.D. in English Literature at York University in Toronto. She is Assistant Professor of Women’s & Gender Studies in the Faculty of Arts of the University of Winnipeg. Her creative and scholarly work addresses transgender and transsexual themes, as well as questions of diasporic Arab identity, anti-racism, queer politics and economic and social justice. Her poetry moves between and combines traditional and experimental forms"--Provided by publisher. Genre:  Canadian poetry. Other authors:  Segue Foundation.
