Description

JM Farkas takes on Ovid's Ars Amoratis, in her signature feminist, revisionist twist, Farkas and speaks to emerging girl poets.

The Roman poet Ovid's The Book of Love instructed women on the art of seduction and men in the art of romantic conquest. It is a classic sexist text on men, women, love, and sex. In her second book of erasures, JM Farkas takes on Ovid's Ars Amoratis, or The Book of Love. In her signature feminist, revisionist twist, Farkas speaks to emerging girl poets. How to Be a Poet is not only for writers, but for anyone who wants to create beauty in the world. In addition to the erasure, How to Be a Poet will include a cross-out style that leaves the original text visible. Illustrations throughout also enhance the text. avenge your mother. invent a girl with a reckless heart. free her in her tower. be a thief, snatch time, every time you write, set fire to your arrows of desire. be greedy, burn like a jealous star. hide the key by the strawberry trees behind your heart. turn with the earth and sing like a girl.
