Nikki Bishop Inscrutable Houses: Metaphors of the Body in the Poems of Elizabeth Bishop by Anne Colwell, Examining the poet's view of the human body and issues of embodiment, Colwell provides an accessible, close reading of Bishop's poetry. Inscrutable Houses examines Elizabeth Bishop's paradoxical relationship to the concept of embodiment as it evolves in the poems of her four published books. Anne Colwell looks at how Bishop uses metaphors of the body to express her powerful ambivalence about human form, at how Bishop moves between pessimism, expressing the idea that the body is the reason for all human loss and misunderstanding, and optimism, seeing the body as the medium for all human connection, for love and knowledge. A combined focus on metaphors of the body in her published work and Bishop's means of arriving at these metaphors through her compositional process therefore highlights important connections between the poet's work and her life, particularly her childhood losses, the influence of contemporary poets, and her personal relationships. Bishop published four collections of poetry, numerous short stories, autobiographical sketches, and several prose pieces on travel. Her double collection titled Poems: North and South -- A Cold Spring, published in 1955, won the Pulitzer Prize, and the later collection Complete Poems (1969) earned her the National Book Award. Colwell's innovative reading not only is valuable in itself but also gives deeper insight into a great and influential poet and contributes to the arguments of more overtly theoretical readings of Bishop's work. "Colwell's work, with its steady focus on Bishop's poems, leads us back to the texts in important and innovative ways, revealing in a new light Bishop's abundant, stunning accomplishments". -- JoanneFeit Diehl Bowdoin College "Anne Colwell's accessible and engaging study offers a striking, coherent analysis and summary of Bishop's poetic development and impressively forthright and helpful readings of her poems -- both major and minor.
The Maidens of Babylon by S. Monique Craig, Monica Crawford, better known as Nikki, is a passionate young woman whose complicated life has transformed her into the biblical demon Lilith, a half-woman/half-serpentine shape-shifter from Hell.Living in Washington, DC, Nikki and her recovering drug-addicted husband, Stefan, move to New Mexico where they hope to build a new and happy life. But their marriage soon falls apart, and Nikki is led into the dark underground world of exotic dancing and sadomasochism.Nikki's life becomes even more complicated when a rattlesnake bites her after she tries to escape Max, a self-confessed serial killer and rapist. She returns to DC to work at the Babylon Nightclub, and soon discovers that her body is gradually changing, until she eventually transforms into the demon, Lilith. Meanwhile Nikki's best friend, another stripper at the Babylon, discovers that several of the club's exotic dancers have been missing. Celia and Benjamin, a patron of the Babylon, convince Nikki that she is the key to solving the mystery of the missing women, even though they don't know about her shape-shifting ability.Told from a first-person perspective and illustrated, the plot becomes increasingly complex as we follow Nikki and her friends on their dark adventure of murder, deceit, and Nikki's own self-destructive behavior.A mixture of fantasy, science fiction and horror, The Maidens of Babylon is a tragic and doomed tale of one woman's journey of self-discovery.
