We Live in Bodies: Poems Book

In these forty daring poems, Ellen Dor Watson sets out to see whether the mind's exuberance and language's abundance can in fact lead us back to the skin in which we are held, or whether we are constantly leaking, sometimes exploding. The various bodies in question are the bodies of infants, of lovers, of people to whom she responds as an emergency medical technician, her own flesh and beyond-flesh self exist in time, and in time are made vulnerable. Vulnerable to what pours in from outside, and therefore open, and therefore blessed, and also at risk. The subject is mortality, the desire to love what is mortal at all cost, and the vision is of a world where the splendors of consciousness and the nerve of language can restore in us the actuality of who we are and how we live.Read More
