Synopsis"A poet to watch."-- O Magazine "I tell the truth, but I try to be kind about it."--Camille Rankine in 12 Questions Named "a poet to watch" by O Magazine , Camille Rankine's debut collection is a series of provocations and explorations. Rankine's short, lyric poems are sharp, agonized, and exquisite, exploring themes of doubt and identity. The collection's sense of continuity and coherence comes through recurring poem types, including "still lifes," "instructions," and "symptoms." From "Symptoms of Aftermath": ...When I am saved, a slim nurse leans out of the white light. I need to hear your voice, sweetheart. I see my escape. I walk into the water. The sky is blue like the ocean, which is blue like the sky. Camille Rankine is the author of the chapbook Slow Dance with Trip Wire , selected by Cornelius Eady for the Poetry Society of America's Chapbook Fellowship. The recipient of a 2010 "Discovery" / Boston Review Poetry Prize and a MacDowell fellowship, her poetry appears in Boston Review , Denver Quarterly , Tin House , and other publications. Currently, she is assistant director of the MFA program in creative writing at Manhattanville College and lives in Harlem., This debut volume introduces a powerful new voice that focuses on doubt, identity, and the fractious, modern world.
