A Conjoined Book: Aftermath and Become Tree, Become Bird

A Conjoined Book: Aftermath and Become Tree, Become Bird

Karla Kelseyâ€™sÂ A Conjoined BookÂ hinges togetherÂ two textsâ€”AftermathÂ andÂ Become Tree, Become Birdâ€”to create a meditation on the nature of aboutness. Aftermath unfolds after an unnamed ecological/emotional fracture, creating a landscape of rift where the â€œIâ€ imagines herself as â€œshe,â€ and perceptions weave into memory and fiction. Become Tree, Become Bird grafts the Brothers Grimmâ€™sÂ The Juniper TreeÂ to the body ofÂ Aftermath, reworking what has splintered into a variation of fairy tale. Throughout A Conjoined Book, Kelseyâ€™s condensed imagery, shifting viewpoints, and interwoven formal structures set lyric and narrative a-shimmer.

Blending experiment and tradition, this book will appeal to a wide audience interested in seeing how fairy tale, philosophy, ecology, narratology, history. As Julie Carr writes: â€œhorror, elegy, mystery, fairy tale, lyric, treatise, fragment meet one another with all their intensities of emotion and intellect.â€
