Admit the Joyous Passion of Revolt by Elena Gomez is a multifaceted work blending Marxist-feminist themes with experimental poetry.

Admit the Joyous Passion of Revolt

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

Admit the Joyous Passion of Revolt is a Marxist-feminist epic poem — wait, no, it's historical — actually it's poems of the worker's body. It is none and all of these things. It is absurd or perhaps entirely sincere.

Gomez's second book brings together a series of poems on the life of Bolshevik feminist Alexandra Kollontai. It examines love and desire under capitalism, and imagines how these will look in a post-capitalist world. This is poetry for girls, poetry for communism; it's poetry for the past and for the impossible future.
