Whelmed, Paperback / softback Book

Whelmed Paperback / softback

Paperback / softback

Description

Dulge, rageous, couth, chalant-we think of prefixes as a few letters that change a word, but what if a word is lost without one?

Each prose poem in Whelmed features a word that has been unhinged from its prefix, allowing new meanings-radically unfamiliar, yet uncannily intimate-to emerge from these prefixless word deposits.

Part prose-poem sequence and part encyclopedia of unpredictably irregular terms, Whelmed is at times deranging, almost disturbing, sometimes detached, and ultimately joyfully disrupting. Nicole Markotic is a poet, novelist, and critic. She is currently a professor of creative writing, children's literature, and disability studies at the University of Windsor in Ontario.
