Written in four sections with incisive and vivid language, Bianca Stone's
What is Otherwise Infinite considers how we find our place in the world through themes of philosophy, religion, environment, myth, and addiction. "Some days," writes Stone, "I get up to go for a run / but instead just sit in spandex / and write about the fog."
Populated by Archangels, limping in paradise; by allergies of the soul; a daughter's cut fingernails; psychic wounds; and dirty, dirty chocolate layer cake, Stone's is a collection that deftly examines our inherent and inherited ideas of how to live, and the experience of the Self--which on one hand is so intensely personal, and on the other, universal.
