About the Book

Excerpts from Plan B Audio, Jane Joritz-Nakagawa's new book-length poem, were published in Poems: New & Selected (Isobar Press, 2018); here is the complete work. The book was written during, and in response to, a life-threatening encounter with illness, and in the aftermath of the radical surgery that saved the author's life. This is not, however, a documentary or an autobiographical work, but rather an extraordinary book-length collage of lyrics, phantasmagoric narratives, beautifully honed language work (and play), lament, mourning, fables, demented quests, chronicles of out-of-kilter hospital routine, fierce humour, sadness, anger, love, pain, loss, and survival. It is a work of enormous formal variety, full of powerfully focused writing. The book is illustrated with a series of striking photographs by Susan Laura Sullivan.

Review :
In this, her tenth full-length poetry collection, Jane Joritz-Nakagawa turns to the long poem to explore the phenomenological experience of the body in trauma. 'Plan B' suggests contingency: an event the occurrence of which could not have been foreseen, but also a conjuncture of events occurring without design. Combining the austerities of experimental poetics with the emotional stakes of memoir, the work is both consoling and devastating. Spurred by a cancer diagnosis and treatment, Joritz-Nakagawa summons the language of illness and the body in all its violence and intimacy with formidable directness and precision. There is a fierceness of attention to the word as sound and image. Joritz-Nakagawa invites the reader to scrutinise language with the same rigour that the body is scrutinised. This is a powerful feminine epic that gives voice to the intensity of living in a dissonant state. - Nancy Gaffield
