Publisher Marketing: BLACK LAVENDER MILK is an experimental lyric that dreamt of becoming a novel only to wake up as notebook. In its 10th Anniversary Edition, BLACK LAVENDER MILK features a new foreword and archival material from the time of writing. Employing and smudging elements of poetry, prose and memoir, BLACK LAVENDER MILK offers the space of a ‘novel’ as a site of mourning, inquiry and recuperation. Through a complex, hypnotic blur of language, the lyric-as-novel functions as an extended meditation on Writing in relation to the Body; Time, Loss, Ancestry and Dreaming.
