Visions of Divine's Love: A Drag Theopoetic
Angebote / Angebote:
What if the medieval mystic, Julian of Norwich, who wrote Revelations of Divine Love, had been writing about Divine the drag queen?The loose story framing the poems describes cloistered professor and film buff Dr. Julia Johnson-a reimagined Julian-and her nameless teaching assistant, a novice nun, as the former reflects on all that was shown to her in viewing the cult classic. As a queer woman in a conflated 14th/20th century, Johnson's vision is television, her Christs are Dreamlanders, and her revelations are sparked by the spectacular rites of the cinema. Through the theoria of filmic engagement, the poems in VISIONS OF DIVINE'S LOVE uncover secrets about Julia, the viewer, the world, and, indeed, about the divine.
