Bøger af MacKenzie Polonyi

IN POST-VOLCANIC FOLK TALES, Mackenzie Polonyi considers what it is, what it means, being a daughter of the diaspora. A third-generation woman away from a country called home, she coos into the acoustic wound of an in-between while troubling perceptions of time and death, worming herself into biomythographical spaces by way of vowels and diacritics, and gathering cartographic information from her beloved maternal grandmother's body, name, and belongings.In her debut collection, Polonyi is disobedient and devoted, her world-building is factual and folkloric. Here, she reconceptualizes guardian angels, reclaims her ancestral language of horses, reflects upon imperfections of remembrance, explores complexities of "matriviticultural" psychoemotional inheritance and familial illness, and ultimately archives and grieves by way of imaginative invention.
