Ariana Reines: Wave of Blood

‘Her writing is queer and raunchy, raw and occult, seemingly never pulling away from her deepest vulnerabilities. Yet Reines simultaneously maintains a feeling of epic poetry, of ancient intention.’ – The New York Times

‘Mind-blowing.’ – Kim Gordon

Join us for a night with one of the USA’s most evocative contemporary poets, in one of a limited series of UK events. Reines is an award-winning poet, Obie-winning playwright, performing artist, and translator. Ariana’s books include A SAND BOOK, winner of the  2020 Kingsley Tufts Prize & longlisted for the National Book Award, THE COW, winner of the Alberta Prize, COEUR DE LION, MERCURY, and The Origin of the World.

Her new book, Wave of Blood, wrestles with the mind of war, and is at times shocking in its self-analysis. Wave of Blood is a furious and sincere essay, an eclipse notebook, a family chronicle, all told in the poetry of witness. It provides a fascinating account of speaking in public on art/poetry during a time of genocide.
