Novak Joanna - Domestirexia Poems - Paperback

Binding: Paperback
Description: Domestirexia goes beyond the entanglement of 'domestic and 'anorexia exploring a behind - closed - doors sensuality borne in the concept of making home. Home can be a space of both resistance and discomfort that one desires or takes pleasure in enjoying. Rote notions of home and the domestic are reimagined in these poems as estranging excessive and populated by unknowable characters. Exploring themes of family sacrifice disease death money cooking romance sex art and the visceral qualities of the everyday the poems twist themselves into binds for the reader to undo or surrender to. Quarantined at her in - law's house during Covid Novak wrote these poems while watching The Great British Baking Show reading The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People skimming Grimm Brothers fairy tales and babysitting an infant. These are poems about wanting to misbehave. Light voyeurism at home with gin and cake.
