More About the Author
Product Description
Product Description
An enticing second collection by Danielle Pafunda, MY ZORBA is a mysterious, memoirish confabulation of missives narrating the dark domestic drama of the speaker and one shape-shifting Zorba. Is Zorba lover? Sister? Captor? Uncanny double? And does the story end in a bloody accident or intentional poisoning? Danielle Pafunda is the author of PRETTY YOUNG THING (Soft Skull, 2005), and the chapbook A PRIMER FOR CYBORGS: THE CORPSE (Whole Coconut Chapbook Series, forthcoming). Her poems have been chosen three times for Best American Poetry (2004, 2006, and 2007) and appeared widely in journals. She is coeditor of the online journal La Petite Zine, a doctoral candidate in the University of Georgia's creative writing program, and Spring 2008 Poet-in-Residence at Columbia College Chicago.

great great great book

This is something I could never create: a masterpiece of stories in poetic form. I love the energy which surrounds Zorba & how he/she/it is somewhere in a corner just being chatted about. As Pafunda says, "I could not speak in the first person!" One of the poems appeared in Best American Poetry & I like how she weaved her way into magazines which accepted such eccentric work. Great reviews on the back, very eccentric stuff but could be a real contender & a future read for all people interested in modern poetics. No other author has such a unique word play.
