Surge

By Opal C McCarthy

Poetry. Women's Studies. Hybrid Genre. The landscape in Opal C McCarthy's SURGE includes failed girls, damage done to bodies by self, strangers, nuclear encroachment, a mythic daughter, a feral self and a fierce voice. McCarthy's poems splay across the page in luxurious crooning, a space owned by the girl-poet, unfailed. SURGE is incantatory, rooted deep within the body and stretching outwards, sunbound, needing nothing more than that epic roar. The companion piece to this book, a lyric essay called Surge: An Oral Poetics, is available from eohippus labs press.
