The latest Spoken Label (Author / Artist /Poetry Podcast) session features the return of our dear friend, the wonderful Alise Versella.
Alise Versella is a Pushcart-nominated, contributing writer for
Rebelle Society whose work has been published in Circle Show, COG
Magazine, Crack the Spine, Entropy, The Opiate, Penumbra Literary and
Art Journal, Poydras Review, Ultraviolet Tribe, What Rough Beast,
Steam Ticket, and Elephant Journal, among others As stated elsewhere
by Kate Fuller "With dazzling formal range, these poems observe
the social ills of the day, using images so beautifully real and
painful that the line between the literal and figurative blurs in the
way only art attuned to the universally truthful can. The rage and
wildness observed and experienced in them, whether through the media
or in a visit to the doctor’s office in a female body, serve as a
balm to the injustices that only mortality might rectify: “perhaps
the dead will breathe again,” writes Versella. Yet even in our
“common stress dream” or the dream of “America,” the poet
isn’t blind to the enduring spirit of not just the dead, but also
the living: “the humpback whale returns to the Hudson, hope on his
lips.” Hope–these poems, what these poems say–can be made from
the wreckage."
