Estelle Meaning Star

by Sarah Rosenthal

In Estelle Meaning Star by Sarah Rosenthal, agony has wrenched language apart, decomposing it into lamentation. Dreams recorded during illness are the source for this beautiful and elemental text. Cut, sutured, disassembled, and rearranged, the words haunt the page, inhabiting the contradictory place of both dying and embodiment.
