Drown: By Ms Eliza Devine
"Twist yourself into little
pretzle circles and
dunk your head under the sea.
Breathe deep the salty goodness
until your tongue swells
and drown for me...."
those images alone, sends submissive tingles and chills up my spine!
i have just finished reading and been inside the mind of a "Mean Girl". Ms Eliza Devine, a former Dominatrix, has written a compelling poetry anthology which underscores and brings to light all the greasy, grimey and grotesque little secrets that W/we tend to harbor and hide under O/our perfectly madeup, little beds. Her poems are provocatively dark, disturbing, yet enlightening and speak with Her many voices which bite, scratch, claw and brawl to be heard above the din of seemingly perfect selfies in O/our superficial, ideal, tidy vanilla world.. Ms Devine's anothology is riveting, gritty and wonderfully unconventional in terms of what one would normally expect to find in a typical dusty, poetry anthology. yet, this anthology is anything but typical. the triggers alone will have O/ones head spinning and tumbling into mindfuck central. once i picked it up, i had great difficulty releasing it and felt captivated by each snippet and phrase, which seemed to literally drag me across it's pages. Her poems speak of objectification, violence, sadism, use and abuse, and the euphoric feelings of total power exchange manifested over others. Her poetic voices and influences are those which can be innocently, tender and childlike, or jaggedly, mentally disturbing, slicing up and ripping out Y/your sheepish, button down, sensibilities and grinding them into devourable hamburger.
each time i have revisited Her poems, i have learned something new and revealing about myself. take a look at this disturbing page turner . i promise, that it will be an iresistable lure and enticement.
so, check it out.
