semiautomatic by Evie Shockley
Art can't shield our bodies or stabilize the earth's climate, but Evie Shockley's semiautomatic insists that it can feed the spirit and reawaken the imagination. In poems that span fragment to narrative and quiz to constraint, from procedure to prose and sequence to song, semiautomatic culls past and present for guides to a hoped-for future.Evie Shockley is a poet who was born and reared in Nashville, Tennessee. She received her BA from Northwestern University, her JD from the University of Michigan, and her PhD in English literature from Duke University. Shockley is the author of many poetry volumes, including a half-red sea (2006) and the new black (2011), as well as the critical collection Renegade Poetics: Black Aesthetics and Formal Creativity in African American Poetry (2011). Black Nature: Four Centuries of African American Nature Poetry (2009), Poets on Teaching: A Sourcebook (2010), A Broken Thing: Modern Poets on the Line (2011), and Contemporary African American Literature: The Living Canon (2013) are just a few of the collections that have featured her poems and essays.
