Description

Wrestling with the mind of war, at times shocking in its self-analysis, WAVE OF BLOOD is a furious, strange and sincere essay, an eclipse notebook, a family chronicle, all told in the poetry of witness.

I don't understand the intensity
I've hidden here but I know I despaired
Of finding a physical place to keep
My tears. Now what. Seas that go turquoise
When you stop looking at them . . .

Reviews

"Ariana Reines is a go-for-broke artist who honors her traditions by being like no one else." -- Ben Lerner
"Her writing is queer and raunchy, raw and occult, seemingly never pulling away from her deepest vulnerabilities. Yet Reines simultaneously maintains a feeling of epic poetry, of ancient intention. She moves between worlds in search of the divine and the self." -- The New York Times
"In a style characteristic of the New York School, her work is embodied, often painfully so, as she intrepidly goes where the poem moves her, from Western Europe to the Middle East, through war, ancestral grief, and insanity." -- Juliette Jeffers, Interview Magazine
"Mind-blowing." -- Kim Gordon
"These are the kinds of poems that reorient you in the world, make you understand how little you know, but how much is inside you." -- NYLON
