Beskrivelse
In Toxicon, Joyelle McSweeney attempts to stand in the direct path of the lyric allowing it to course through her like a kind of toxin. Ecstatic, enraptured, political and fatal, McSweeney has wrought a quiver of lyrics like poisoned arrows: sonnets and sestinas, elegies and odes, including a crown of sonnets laced with the tuberculosis bacterium that killed Keats and a lacework of odes for Chelsea Manning. If Plato's banned poet had his pharmakon of deleterious substances, McSweeney has her Toxicon.
