“Book Descriptions: “In Cassandra J. Bruner’s The Wishbone Dress, female deer sprout horns, breasts bud on male bodies, children are born with horse heads and fish scales. These poems deliberately disrupt our conventional notions of identity and sexuality by blurring the lines between male and female, human and animal, the mythic and the real; in Bruner’s world, bodies don’t change so much as erupt into new, composite forms that both respond to and re-write Greek mythology and Biblical narratives. These poems are by turns erotic, spiritual, brutal, frightening. Their tones and modes turn on a dime. They invent their own syntax. Their deep strangeness makes them beautiful, and wonderfully unclassifiable.” —Paisley Rekdal” DRIVE
