Proprioception moves through ideas of race, of fear, of sexuality, of life already lived in low-level terror now amplified, of the weight of responsibility, of the burdens of age—trying to find a way to breathe every day in what is now a permanent upset of an already shaky imbalance, to find my new position in spaces erupting with old hate, old jealousies, old greeds.

Proprioception tastes of a feral urgency to time, to presence, a need. The poems move through ideas of race, of fear, of sexuality, of life already lived in low-level terror now amplified, of the weight of responsibility, of the burdens of age—trying to find a way to breathe every day in a now permanent upset of an already shaky imbalance, to find new position in spaces erupting with old hate, old jealousies, old greeds.

Arvustused

C. Prudence Arceneaux is a brilliant poet of immense ferocity & velocity. The poems of Proprioception move with muscular grace, surprise, and startle, feeling utterly fresh, unlike anyone elses poems. How Arceneaux manages to be wry, sexy, contemplative, and rueful all at once, is a wonder. I love the weed pulling! What a gift. Sprung from astonishment, whirling, shifting, pitching a mind into wild new states of being, these poems are alive.Naomi Shihab Nye, author of Everything Comes Next and The Tiny Journalist C. Prudence Arceneauxs debut unfolds like a taxonomy of desire, ferociously precise in the face of all it risks. Proprioceptions resolute muscularity deals in the erotic, esoteric, and ironic alongside the fusions, the refusals, the lyric and literal unrest only an embodied witness, shorn of self-pity, without a thought of folding, could hold in her hand. Few first collections have redoubled my allegiance to poetrys audacity, musicality, and vitality like this one.Susanna Childress, author of Jagged with Love and Entering the House of Awe and Extremely Yours
