In Horn's adept hands the collection takes shape as a unified book: short vignettes about fish reliquaries and antiquities serve as interludes between longer essays knitting together a sinuous wave - like form that flows across the book. Horn swims through a range of subjects roving across marine history theology questions of the body and gender sexuality transmasculinity and illness. From Horn's upbringing with a mother who used them as a model in photos and art installations memorably in a photography session in an ice bath with dead squid to Horn's travels before they were out as trans these essays are linked by a desire to interrogate liminal physicalities. Horn reexamines the oft - presumed uniformity of bodily experience breaking down the implied singularity of the body as cultural and scientific object. The essays instead privilege ways of seeing and being that resist binaries ways that falter fracture mutate. A sui generis work of nonfiction Voice of the Fish blends the aquatic mystical and physical to reach a place beyond them all.\u003cbr\u003e\nTitle: Voice Of The Fish A Lyric Essay\u003cbr\u003e\nAuthor(s): Horn Lars\u003cbr\u003e\nPublisher: Graywolf Press\u003cbr\u003e\nBarcode: 9781644450895\u003cbr\u003e\nPages: 240 Pages\u003cbr\u003e\nLanguage: English\u003cbr\u003e\nPublication Date: 6\/7\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\nCategory: Literary Essays","brand":"Horn Lars","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49622495691057,"sku":"IN-G-9781644450895","price":14.62,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0644\/6759\/9594\/files\/9781644450895.jpg?v=1724720729","url":"https:\/\/bookdelivered.com\/products\/9781644450895-voice-of-the-fish-a-lyric-essay","provider":"Book Delivered","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
