A poetic representation of PTSD and its evocative bewilderments, Paula Bohince鈥檚 mesmerizing new collection, A Violence, is written at inflection points: a waking from dissociation borne from a harrowing childhood; a breakdown; and a struggle toward wholeness by means of mystified recollection amid ecological disturbances. Praised for poems that 鈥渞eward enormously upon first encounter, and only more so upon subsequent reads鈥� (The Rumpus), Bohince is here alert to surprise, the enthralling image 鈥渞ushing through such wreckage a brain becomes.鈥� Contemplating vulnerability and resilience in the entwined human and natural worlds, with a voice precise and powerful, A Violence is a haunting collection that builds symphonically to recover a self 鈥済one away,鈥� where the ordinary is imbued with transcendental significance.
