Overview

Metamorphic Door is a shapeshifting landscape. To read this collection is to tour the meat cave, the hadal zone, the summer air strung with mayflies. These are poems of noticing, full of insects, birds, and rocks; but also of viral videos, message-bearing geese, and the rat galactic. Supinka writes with a lantern curiosity, casting light everywhere her poetic gaze goes and these beams are further illuminated by illustrations which accompany the poems, as well as the combination of the two: poetry comics, which are featured throughout the book. Step through the eponymous door, roam its organic trappings, and feel your ecological and temporal attention transformed.

"""This new brew of literature mixes exceptional craft with curious illustrations that entices new readers to the scene, something that contemporary poetry desperately needs."" - Rich Perin ""From swooping owls to slug sex to distant galaxies, the speakers in Carolyn Supinka's Metamorphic Door are eagerly transfixed with the world at every turn. Perhaps this is because they recognize their bodies in the larger structures of nature, or perhaps they are hungry to experience all the flavors of rapture and loss that come their way. In any case, the results are delightful, and the addition of comics makes this collection all the more remarkable. Supinka's blend of drawings overlaid on each other speak to the joyous multiplicity of seeing, and become a palimpsest of movements through space and time. So what happens when you walk through the titular metamorphic door? '[Your] body emerges unraveled and transformed'-and that's only the beginning."" - Sheila Dong, author of Moon Crumbs (Bottlecap Press, 2019)"
