The Corpse Flower brings works from Bruce Beasley's first four award-winning collections together with twenty-five new poems, organizing them around the metaphor that gives the book its title: an enormous tropical bloom that reeks like carrion, and around whose three-day florescence «dung beetles & flies & sweat bees swarm / . . . pollen gummed all over / their furred feet.» The corpse flower serves as a figure for Beasley's coming to terms with birth and death, fecundity and...

Die pure Angst und Verzweiflung trieb sie an, als sie mitten im dunklen Wald in der Kälte aufwachte. Hilflos irrte die junge Frau durch das Gehölz, begleitet von den zahllosen Schatten der seelenlosen Bewohner. Plötzlich erstarrte sie, als die Dunkelheit über ihre Haut kroch. Irgendjemand oder besser irgendetwas beobachtete sie bereits seit längerer Zeit und wartete nur auf den richtigen Moment. Sie war nichts anders, als seine Beute, die er mit blutiger Spur durch den Wald
