Diorama

Diorama

Diorama is a poetic chapbook in two parts. Weaving rituals of self and worldly observation, it manages to be at once sensual, metaphysical and alarmingly real. Basile and Morhardt-Goldstein sculpt their own stories, while their works braid to create a single longer narrative.

PRAISE
"Diorama is a fantastic new chapbook by Alyssa Morhardt-Goldstein and Lisa Marie Basile. It begins with work by Morhardt-Goldstein, who is a classically trained musician as well as a poet, and whose work here, we are told in the notes, includes some intended for music or informed by music. Her use of language is full of surprise and delight. A fish gallops in his bowl and “wants his feet.” The poems are sensual, searching, and deeply sincere. Basile’s poems are also beautifully, poignantly sincere. She has a striking sense of imagery, as in, “You are a sloth on me, and I am/ your Cecropia tree.” This line comes from a truly wonderful poem called “Letters” which you should go read right now. Altogether a stunning little collection — super smart, bold, and a little scary.“
—Jennifer Michael Hecht, award-winning author of Funny, The Next Ancient World and Doubt: A History, among others.

“Raw and wrought iron, the poems in Diorama careen between bruise and boost. What is hurt is uncovered, what is wounded is soothed. Here, the body has no end. Sexuality and sound play buzz and moan as this lionhearted debut lights its honest fire.”
—Ada Limón, prize-winning poet of Lucky Wreck, This Big Fake World and Sharks in the Rivers
