Confronting the forces of mass communication - whether television, movies, or the Internet - Leyton explores the subtle effects of the media on our perceptions and interactions, including the pain of alienation and the threat of violence simmering just below the surface. And yet, for all its unflinching and raw lyricism, the poetry of All the Gold Hurts My Mouth is warm and searching, full of humour and hope. Engaging her readers with lush vocabulary and spare, tightly controlled forms, Leyton's poems become a rich quest for identity, authenticity, and nature uncorrupted. Reaching gloriously from isolation and pain to connection with love, Leyton channels the wit of past feminists to create a manifesto for our time, an affirmation of what might be possible. 610 $aAmerican literature 676 $aC811/.6 700 $aLeyton$b Katherine$f1983-$01248738 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910136114903321 996 $aAll the gold hurts my mouth$92894084 997 $aUNINA
