Summary:

"With flexibility and invisible acrobatics, The Seated Woman presents, as in the theatre, a competitive dialogue between a woman and her poems. Silent, nailed to her chair, the seated woman writes. She cracks. The poems fidget, slip their fingers: they seek to enter. Perched on her shoulder, the poems whisper in her ear. She captures their messages: “I love the sacred contortions you offer me.” The poems protest: “You're squeezing us too hard: be careful, toy.” More than descriptors, the words behave as commands or moves in a game--and the voice of the seated woman rises to play."-- Provided by publisher.
