Beschreibung
"e;This whip-smart collection is a playful celebration of feminine power. Publisher s Weekly"e;What a beautiful book. Ross Gay"e;With the verve of Alice Fulton and the panache of Gerald Stern, Sysko keens into the canon, a welcome voice. Sing, indeed, heavenly muse. Alan Michael ParkerFinalist for the 2023 Miller Williams Poetry PrizeSelected by Patricia SmithThe Daughter of Man follows its unorthodox heroine as she transforms from maiden to warrior then to queen, maven, and crone against the backdrop of suburban America from the 1980s to today. In this bold reframing of the hero s journey, L. J. Sysko serves up biting social commentary and humorous, unsparing self-critique while enlisting an eccentric cast that includes Betsy Ross as sex worker, Dolly Parton as raptor, and a bemused MILF who exchanges glances with a young man at a gas station. Sysko s revisions of Rene Magritte s modernist icon The Son of Man and the paintings of baroque artist Artemisia Gentileschi, whose extraordinary talent was nearly eclipsed after she took her rapist to trial, loom large in this multifaceted portrait of womanhood. With uncommon force, The Daughter of Man confronts misogyny and violence, even as it bursts with nostalgia, lust, and poignant humor.
