“Visceral Poetics” Book launch | SF

Submitted by the Event Organizer

Come celebrate the publication of two new books by Linda Russo,
To Think of Her Writing Awash in Light and Participant, and the latest by Eleni Stecopoulos, Visceral Poetics.

Visceral Poetics tracks “the chronic syndrome of the West” and the cruel treatments of poetry’s resistance. At once a call for an embodied scholarship, a poetic work of criticism, and a fragmentary autoethnography of the author’s health crisis at the millennium, Eleni Stecopoulos’s book moves in a complex field of languages and bodies, between symptom and art, diagnosis and composition, fascia and form.

Stecopoulos aligns her method with diviners of entrails and holistic healers, tracing the resonance between locations that range from demonic possession and parasitic vowels to acupuncture and diaspora Greek.
