Signs of Subversive Innocents travels the depth of human experience from the celebratory to the delusional. This debut collection by Cora Sir� tells of characters and realms, both distant and familiar, with vibrant intensity and lyricism. The poems speak of physical and metaphorical signs - omens, gestures, creations and other markings or traces of human existence - and the impulse to subvert destiny, the tension between actuality and desire that underlies beauty, terror, desperation and triumph. Uniquely structured around a quartet set in an abandoned marble quarry, the poems resonate for their ingenuity and range while evoking the search for connection in a complex world.
