by Kathleen Burnham (Author)
Corrective Lenses: for Reading Ethno-botan-ese and Other Incendiary Language is Burnham's attempt to call bullshit on the gaslighting that is both self-imposed and put upon not just women but everyone and everything that is historically and currently denied voice and agency-- mostly that put upon the traditional other with a capital O. Somewhere between geek-ing out over cult favorite/obscure films-- and their enigmatic directors-- and using Freudian analytics to self-diagnose an unhealthy relationship with male-dominated religion/culture, Burnham begs for poets to put legs on their penned prayers, for art to become hardware for witchcraft, the works of faith that is alive, irrespective of religion or creed.
