Description
The poems in Morgan Lucas Schuldt's debut collection, Verge, speak at once both brokenly and reparably of the body, of its lusts and devotions, its violences and "satisflictions." Schuldt's lyrics exploit the phonetic suppleness of the English language in a way that teases out (mischievously so, earnestly so) an ecstatic, carnal, tender kind of poetics that pays homage—in both name and spirit—to poets like Hopkins, Celan, Crane and Berryman, as...

An understanding of the nature of consciousness reveals itself to be more elusive the longer one tries to approach it. The closer we get, the more vivid the confusion is. And this is the case regarding not only our handle on consciousness, but also the one we have on identity and even on reality itself, both of which depend upon consciousness-and all three of which, ultimately, prove more malleable than we might care to admit.
