Download or read book feeld written by Jos Charles and published by Milkweed Editions. "gendre is not the tran organe / gendre is yes a hemorage.” “did u kno not a monthe goes bye / a tran i kno doesnt dye.” The world of feeld is our own, but off-kilter, distinctly queer-making visible what was formerly and forcefully hidden: trauma, liberation, strength, and joy. In Charles’s electrifying transliteration of English-Chaucerian in affect, but revolutionary in effect-what is old is made new again. A lot of praise and thought has already been given to Jos Charles’s new book of poetry, feeld, and for good reason.Written in a faux-Chaucerian version of English which slips between archaism and text-speak, Charles uses the history of the English language to bend it almost until the point that it breaks, and, through those twists and fissures, creates a space for her (trans, queer) voice to. “i care so much abot the whord i cant reed.” In feeld, Charles stakes her claim on the language available to speak about trans experience, reckoning with the narratives that have come before by reclaiming the language of the past. ![]() Selected by Fady Joudah as a winner of the 2017 National Poetry Series, Jos Charles’s revolutionary second collection of poetry, feeld, is a lyrical unraveling of the circuitry of gender and speech, defiantly making space for bodies that have been historically denied their own vocabulary. ![]()
