From the winner of the Griffin Prize, a richly lyrical collection of poems exploring the bodyâs minutiae
In her first full-length collection published in the United States, Sylvia Legris probes and peels, carves and cleaves, amputates and dissects, to reveal the poetic potential of human and animal anatomy.
Starting with the Greek writings of Hippocrates and the Latin language of medicine, and drawing from Leonardo da Vinciâs Anatomical Manuscripts, the dermatologist Robert Willanâs On Cutaneous Diseases (1808), and Baudelaireâs The Flowers of Evil, Legris infuses each poem with unique rhythms that roll off the tongue. The Hideous Hidden boldly celebrates anatomyâs wonders: âRenounce the vestibule of non-vital vitals. / Confess the gallbladder, / the glandular wallflowers, / the objectionable oblong spleen.â
