About this ebook
In four extended sequences, The First Risk confronts the murder of Matthew Shepard and the myth of Venus and Adonis through the eyes of Italian Renaissance painter Luca Cambiaso; the eccentric women of Pedro Almodóvar’s All About My Mother and their search for authenticity; the nature of love and obsession in Alfred Hitchcock’s Vertigo and the pain and confusion of loss; and “The Strange Case of Maribel Dixon,” the compelling novella-in-verse of a physicist in search of his lost wife, haunted by a phantom voice that may or may not be hers...
“Charles Jensen finds another form—and quite an appealing one—to embody this eternal fascination with the power of the tongue.” —Susan Settlemyre Williams, Blackbird
“Charles Jensen has accomplished a major work here, one that can be read in a single sitting but which reaches far beyond. Like the voice of Maribel herself, his poetry resonates, haunting its reader with its tale of ghostly love, of beautifully destructive despair, of getting lost and of finally being found.” —Matt Bell
