Arrythmia by C2 Shaw
ISBN 978-0930773168

C2 Shaw is a poet published by Black Heron Press. Her powerful and erotic poems are at the forefront of sonic poetry. These erotic poems are filled with both power and lyrisicm – a rare combination. Taking cues from sources as disparate as Dadaism and Sappho, C2 Shaw’s images strike light whenever they land. She combines the best of traditional and modern poetics, reviving the use of sonics without diluting the terse and forward momentum of her verse. Her poetry is rich in both sound and subject – as good in the mouth as it is in the mind.

Excerpts

Resurrection

I had forgotten
You brought it slamming back
I remember as if it were my name
Feeling need desire
How did I forget?
Dark vampire hunger
Fingertips flesh soft warm throbbings
Lips tongues wet
I should damn you to the blackness
Acid pain euphoria
Sleepless ecstatic
The oddest agony
I had forgotten
I was living cardboard
You whispered blood, not water
I didn’t want to know
I can’t forget my name

Feast

Your arm on my shoulders
Rapturous ripe lips
My hands on your body
Flowing languorous
My tongue wetwarm
Drinking your pulse
Draining life
Devouring essence
I spit out the husk
