description
essor to Allison Joseph's award-winning breakthrough, Confessions of a Barefaced Woman. This time around, this self-professed "barefaced woman" is setting her sighs/sights on language and what it does for and with and to her. Joseph loves language, making it her slippery passion in poems about childhood griefs and fashion faux pas, movie musicals and empty airports, "rules" for writing and rules for reading. Though Joseph loves language, it doesn't always love her back--but in her wise, readable, and imaginative way, she persists while documenting the minefields of racism and sexism. Joseph finds joy in the most unlikely of places, and in Lexicon, her adoration for the written word lets us see those places in sharp and evocative relief. All hail this bounty, this Lexicon!
