Suite for Hallucinated Voices - Paperback

by Cj Scruton (Author)

Suite for Hallucinated Voices is a book of revelations for a life that refuses to end. Written as a fully performable musical score, this poetry collection holds a microphone to unspeakable violences from within and without, and to the sweetnesses that at once feed us and render us prey to what we love. CJ Scruton moves beyond deconstructing illusion and reaches toward the task of interpretation-examining the messages she's received, near and far, deciding which false-speaking idols can be torn down and where her own song belongs in the cacophony. Using music as both metaphor and practice, Suite for Hallucinated Voices walks like a prophet through the desert, parsing the noise of the heavens without shutting the voices out.
