The River Pouring Through My Body is Giving Me an Ear Infection is an exploration of found material and how different words and phrases can recombine to articulate new ideas outside of their original contexts. Collaged in with the reconstituted verse are an overarching prose narrative and visceral (and eviscerating) photograms representative of the migraine headaches the author suffers from. The title stems from a bad dream, from the feeling that one is being poisoned by forces that are deeply internal. Intimate and reflective, this multi-media book offers meditations on anxiety, love, chronic pain, and the meaning of being present in one’s own life.
