Erotikon: Poems

You will be drawn into Mitchell's musical and mysterious creation that is as dangerously tempting as it is playful. Each poem feels like a "bird calling, always up ahead, yearning me deeper in." The same voice that sings "Bye Baby Bunting" and "Wimble and wight" and speaks of whipping the self to "glees of teeter" also speaks of the desire that is "clawing/ the body, finding the weakest spot to break out of."Mitchell explores human desire and the hungers of this animal existence. "Think flicker and fluid and flow" and you will be caught up in the lyrical transformation that the language lures us into. The poems pull and tug and tempt and stir. Their worlds are worlds worth entering. "What is so strange / it feels like home? It calls. I follow."
