Publisher's Synopsis
Poetry. Art. Bianca Lynne Spriggs, a poet and visual artist (among other things), records, catalogs, and mythologizes our all-at-once grotesque and heart-wrenching present. Her irresistible voice imparts upon her readers the natural world, the cosmos, our hearts, all retransmitted through a prism of sensuous and enchanted language. In THE GALAXY IS A DANCE FLOOR, we encounter a nursery for unborn stars. We are asked to consider: You think the cosmos was engineered / by elements that always perform / like the rest? Before you realize it, Spriggs will be feasting on the savory red sugar of you.
