Opis

Alisha Mascarenhasâs A Catalogue of Risk is a volte-face of the neoliberal market economyâs construction of isolated, individual safety. In her debut book of poems, Mascarenhas lingers in the question of risk as it arises in daily life and intimacy. Through a close study and partial translation of philosopher-psychoanalyst Anne Dufourmantelleâs Ãloge du risque (2011), her poems posit risk as a fissure, through which we might imagine yet-unknown futures. Alisha Mascarenhasâs A Catalogue of Risk is the recipient of the 2022 Carolyn Bush Award. Alisha Mascarenhas (b. 1989) is a poet and translator and the author, most recently, of the chaplet Contagion Fields (Belladonna* 2021). She has contributed writing to Pamenar Press, The Poetry Project Newsletter, The Recluse, Peripheral Review, and The Felt, among others. Alisha was a 2023 resident at La Baldi Artistâs Residency in Montegiovi, Italy. She holds an MFA in Writing from Pratt Institute in Brooklyn, where she now lives.
