lifeinpoetry's review against another edition
5.0
I've been a fan of Carrie Lorig's work for a long time and The Blood Barn did not disappoint. The book itself is a work of art. Aside from Candace Williams' Spells for Black Wizards (The Atlas Review) when was the last time I spent so much time marveling over the presentation of book of poetry?
The text itself had me dogearing what seemed to be every other page. The experience of living in a body one starves and hurts in a text that embodies that alienation/dissociation is very much my interest.

Carrie Lorig is a genius.
This is very raw, very intimate, utterly unforgettable, like nothing I've seen before. The Blood Barn is a modern art experience that, like its protagonist, rejects being an object, rejects succumbing to the oppressive constraints of language/ form/ expectation, and does so to a great success.
Proper review coming sometime in the future.

This book is a body/tells of a body/bodies. I am grateful Carrie Lorig writes and that I get to read her words. They strain constantly against themselves, each other, poetry, order and bodies. It’s very beautiful.
