In it, queerness becomes both the agent of terror and its object. “I want to be consumed. I want to disappear twice.” Extending the experiments of Mayer, Lonidier, and Stein, Modeya’s poems are as much about desire as they are about violence. They let us in on a secret: “Logic sometimes is so disgusting.” At once delirious and hyperalert, performance and document of a performance, \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eSappho Terror \u003c\/em\u003edisrupts the routines of everyday life from within. “Tending to the eros of writing something down.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn\u003cspan\u003e \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003cem\u003eSappho Terror\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eMaura Modeya drifts with eros between the “war intestine,” and a restless dreamscape where desire demands disorientation and the rapture of invasion teeters in tension between queer love and the horrors of militaristic and domestic terrorism. Modeya offers us a vulnerable and familiar sorrow: “Why when I want to speak of love, violence surfaces?” In communion with Sappho’s fragments—those invocations of desire intensified by their historical devastation—Modeya’s poems project that eros is to want is to risk.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Asterism","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44237692600419,"sku":"9798991148948","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/8655\/1139\/files\/1772761306-900.jpg?v=1780692998","url":"https:\/\/woodlandpatternbookcenter.com\/products\/sappho-terror","provider":"Woodland Pattern","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
