Joy Reveles explores
traditional and emerging notions of female sexuality with the publication
of The Truth About Queens, in conjunction with
Poet Joi Publications (www.thepoetjoi.com)
and Lulu (www.lulu.com), the world’s
fastest-growing provider of print-on-demand books. Using a unique
combination of experimental line breaks, local images, and accessible
language, Reveles uncovers memory while developing immediate and
tangible images that connect the reader to the current time and
act of remembering.
Press
Release Body = The Truth About Queens challenges
conventional form with poems that depart from verse and move toward
prosaic arrangement. Reveles employs devices such as lists, vignettes,
and lyrics to convey stories about girlhood and womanhood threaded
together by memories, both real and imagined.
Reveles
wrote The Truth About Queens to give voice to memory
from a woman’s perspective. She came to Lulu because she wanted
to be in control of the publishing process, and found that Lulu
also afforded the opportunity for her to publish her work under
Poet Joi Publications, her newly formed publishing organization.
The Truth About Queens is available for purchase at www.lulu.com,
in a marketplace filled with other unique and wonderful surprises.
“Everything
is deliberate in my writing, from the specific language employed
in a given poem, to line breaks, syntax, punctuation or lack thereof,
to overall presentation,” said Reveles. “Each of these
components works toward constructing new memory, new experience
through the reader’s engagement with a poem.”
