    Primal Meanderings: Sylvia Secci on a collection and two pamphlets that explore belonging in urban and ancestral spaces

    Sylvia Secci

    Category: Reviews
    Stav Poleg’s debut collection The City is a work of surreal and fantastical reach. Diaristic in tone, it meanders through cities, questioning their reality and unreality. Circumventing logic for the sake of theatricality, the poems evade natural laws: guitars are [...]
