SUMMARY:The Big Texas Author Talk featuring Mag Gabbert
DESCRIPTION:A Free Monthly Online Lecture Series from WritingWorkshops.com & Gemini Ink\nWednesday\, February 21st\, 2024 via Zoom @ 7PM CST\n\nRSVP\nUp Next: Poet & Essayist Mag Gabbert and her poetry collection\, SEX DEPRESSION ANIMALS. This discussion will be moderated by poet Séamus Fey.\nABOUT SEX DEPRESSION ANIMALS\n\n“This bewitching debut delivers everything the title promises and more.” –Electric Literature \nIn SEX DEPRESSION ANIMALS\, which was selected by Kathy Fagan as the winner of the 2021 Charles B. Wheeler Prize in Poetry\, Mag Gabbert redefines the bestiary in fiery\, insistent\, and resistant terms. These poems recast the traumas of her adolescence while charting new paths toward linguistic and bodily autonomy as an adult. Using dreamlike\, shimmering imagery\, she pieces together a fractured portrait of femininity—one that electrifies the confessional mode with its formal play and rich curiosity. Gabbert examines the origin of shame\, the role of inheritance\, and what counts as a myth\, asking\, “What’s the opposite of a man? / A woman? A wound? The devil’s image?”\n\n  \nABOUT MAG GABBERT\nMag Gabbert is the author of SEX DEPRESSION ANIMALS (Mad Creek Books\, 2023)\, which was selected by Kathy Fagan as the winner of the 2021 Charles B.
