Shira Dentz

Shira Dentz is the author of a book of poems, black seeds on a white dish, recently published by Shearsman Books, a chapbook, Leaf Weather (Tilt Press), and another full-length collection, door of thin skins, forthcoming from CavanKerry Press.

Anti- Thesis:

“I’m anti-status quo in poetry, poetry that toes the line as if lines aren’t imaginary. As in, rehashing familiar poetic tropes without awareness of the values embedded in them, and what's been mapped out as normative in terms of ideas as well as language. I’m also anti-status, without the quo, dominating poetry.”
