What People are Saying About This
From the Publisher
"Every leaf, flower, snowflake, butterfly in Magnified is impeccably coated and coded with existential time, anti-capitalist time. Magnified is a profoundly intimate record of personal sorrow as well as 'poetry to action'—in its resistance against empire's economic and military destruction."—Don Mee Choi, author of DMZ Colony
"The poems in Magnified model a fearless relation with lost beloveds that is gorgeous, queer and fiercely alive. Minnie Bruce Pratt, who always writes verse with palpating radical breath, here ignites it with a vision for revolutionary afterlife."—Rachel Levitsky, author of The Story of My Accident Is Ours
"'Revolution is bigger than both of us, revolution is a science that infers the future presence of us,' writes Pratt. Magnified is a history of the beloved's last days, and in crafting that history Pratt has crafted posterity, sending revolutionary love into the future that we may learn from it."—Kerri Webster, Visiting Assistant Professor, Boise State University
"In this elegiac and essential book, Minnie Bruce Pratt focuses a Dickinsonian extreme attention on the natural world, its changes magnified by an approaching death, with the human exchanges essential to her activism as much in focus as a walnut shell, a poplar leaf, the breath of the beloved."—Marilyn Hacker, author of Blazons
