Poetry in Motion: Carlie Blume + Gigglepuss
Carlie Blume’s new poetry collection Gigglepuss (Guernica Editions), will be released in April. In this week’s Poetry in Motion feature, Carlie reads a few selections from her collection.
Carlie Blume reads from Gigglepuss
Gigglepuss delves into a past pockmarked with loss, broken family dynamics, and the looming shadow of familial mental illness. These poems touch on sexual abuse, lost relationships, the influence of pop culture, and the intensity of motherhood set against the at times humorous backdrop of stark self-awareness, irony and even absurdity. Bucking against a patriarchal society, this collection is a provocative, reflective and at times confrontational portrayal of our human need for connection, self- identity and home.* * *
