Book excerpt: In Dear Creatures, Claire Bowman hosts a suite of poems at once alien and intimately human. They are psyche and senses, spiritual toads. Created through the belief that poetry doesn¿t come out of us, it comes into us, these poems express a desire to be in dialogue with something that is beyond understanding. They are spoken through an oracular voice that lacks identity, and embody the incoherence of a shattered psyche. This work is concerned with an intensity of experience that is derived from being a wet, electrical body that houses consciousness, a phenomenon that should never cease to leave us gripped, stupefied, and spellbound.
