Urizen II [002] – Full Length Mecha Suit by Dani Baker. 36pp. To order, venmo
@urizen2 $12 w/ a mailing address.
Full Length Mecha Suit is a “work of pure ignition,” a suite of poems traveling mecha-style and guided by a 17th century celestial atlas in search of belated fragments of song, which pulse “along the skin barrier.” Baker returns from her “studies in the content areas,” reminding us again and again, intimately and expansively, that “this world is the only no place / to live.”
