"...Prevallet has been a wildly performative and investigative poet for decades, always at the edge of what matters, what she studies and transforms into trenchant meditative activist language. " —Anne Waldman, Distinguished Professor of Poetics at Naropa University and author of over 60 books.
A Varied and Often Tender Multiplicity
K Prevallet
ISBN-13: 978-1-962890-07-6
This book is a collection of Prevallet's best spells, incantations, rituals, lyric prose, formal experiments, and poems; some were published in literary magazines and anthologies, and some were rejected or never sent out. What connects them here, in this meadow, is that they all contain signatures of subtle but symbiotic traces of plant medicines that Prevallet has been researching, using, and wondering about since she was a teen. Each poem is accompanied by a Materia medica (plant description), which connects it to the meadow of trees and plants— the field of varied and tender multiplicities—that is woven into the background of the poem. The book is illustrated with sketches and cyanotypes of the plants. The poet Edwin Torres calls this "a book which embodies worldbeing as a mindbody state.”
This book is full color, and is printed in monochrome green ink, including the text. $24.99
