The Feast : Prose Poem Sequences

Poetry. Writer Debra Di Blasi calls The Feast, "a work of subversive genius, particularly relevant to today's political and cultural climate." Bargen calls this latest work a prose poem sequence, meaning a collection that has the energy, rhythm, and imagery of poetry, while also having the narrative thread and characters of a novella - even if the narrative is held together by a tenuous thread, such as a repeating image. In THE FEAST, the retelling of the biblical Jonah, swallowed by a great fish, becomes the book's underlying organizing principle.
