About the book

"What is it to feel attached and what is it to be free? Is contemporary love a reasonable desire or a whacked-out addiction? How many sippy-cup lattes have you had today, anyway?" "Both playful and probing, What Stirs looks at our primal appetite for human attachment in a postmodern digital era where the tenderness of the individual is both exposed and easily masqueraded by the brazen and wary stirrings of virtual identity. In this new collection, Margaret Christakos accretes the ecstatic reach of lyric poetry, the sensual and intimate voicings of maternal domesticity, and her abiding curiosities about subjective excess and procedural poetic composition into a uniquely wakeful field of linguistic, acoustic and narrative pleasure."--Jacket.
