    Faceless Names Anna Elena Eyre BlazeVOX [books] Faceless Names resounds from the ancient mesas of New Mexico, the Sangre de Cristo mysteries, the archetypical Demeter and Persephone, at last singing their own voices, sculpted, carved out of language. “Word you’re an entity of/hands & clay,” Anna Elena Eyre chants to the loving and the gone, in the poetic diptychs “Letters to Williams and Kora,” (in Hell) and the variable couplets of “Letters to Evelyn,” reaching back to Rhea, the earth grandmother. All sound is grounded in the body, assembling a fruitful language punctuated by space, halting hastening exhilarating—a new, native mythology. —Gloria Frym Read this book in the dark, with a flashlight. Read this book when you are open, really open to the world, to your world, to language and rain. Anna Elena Eyre writes magnificent poems, poems that breathe and sing and imagine and paint. I am very grateful to her. —Joseph Lease Anna Elena Eyre grew up on the outskirts of crumbling adobe commune Reality in Des Montes, New Mexico. Currently she lives in Albany, New York in the concrete of Empire’s detritus. She is deeply indebted to all of her teachers and is devoted to being in service of poetry for the rest of her years.

    a note about the letters:

    notes are not necessary & that is precisely why to take note. this book is written in response to William Carlos Williams Kora in Hell. the letters are written in attempt to other self as language via language & are of dream. they are an exploration of unidentifiable identity or the chimera-word-animal as a potential body for mirrored or reciprocal alterity that allows for a construction of self that is able to addressto ad (Latin to near) & a (Greek without/not) dress (direct, solidify)to approach without identifyingaddress reciprocally vulnerablylovingly

    dear W Carlos W,

Kora stolen. away to barren complacent. trickery. lead her discursive absent presence omphalos. absent vacuum pull in pits. rind empty of pulp is not the no thing word / globes spin around. gravitate to words to wards towards. Kora orbits through line struck between shell / blossom / eaten / decomposition. where ocean horizon dissolves to sky sun severs decipher.
