I’m Fine. How Are You? • Print + E-book

Description

I’m Fine. How Are You? explores gender, love, sexuality, anxiety, and loss, and ultimately hope in the ability of language to heal trauma. Through threaded stories of a lover on a road trip with another woman, a violent old flame, and a friend’s suicide, the speaker unravels the troubling knot between herself and others, and between body and psyche in search of strength.

Praise

“I’m obsessed with I’m Fine. How Are You? Reckless & ballsy & raw & smart.”
      —Chloe Caldwell, author of “Women”

“Is it a Lyric Essay? Is it a Long Poem? Is it Meditations? I’m Fine. How Are You? is about relationships and violence and loss and gender and duck vaginas and art and is a wonderful manifestation of Zukofsky’s definition of poetry; ‘It is precise information on existence out of which it grows, and information on its own existence.’ Pikula’s disarming voice is precise and totally winning.”
      —Mathew Rohrer, author of The Others
