From award-winning writer Johanna Skibsrud, Mediumshares the lives and perspectives of women whoin their roles as biological, physical, or spiritual mediumshave helped to shape the course of history.
Helen of Troy, Anne Boleyn, Shakuntala Devi, Hypatia of Alexandria, Marie Curie: Medium interprets the voices of women vilified over time, silenced by famous husbands, forced into sex work, or wrongly accused. Reckoning with the dominant historical narratives of each womans era, Skibsrud underscores the power of poetry to bring about new formulations for understanding the relationship between past and present, self and other.
These deeply resonant and performative poems use language as a bridge across experience, sensibility, and time. Each exploration begins with a brief vignette inspired by the vidas that once began manuscripts of the troubadours. Both vidas and poems provide lyrical reinterpretations of real and imagined elements in the lives of scholars, scientists, computer engineers, mystics, entrepreneurs, artists, nurses, and other leaders.
