Called Back
Rosa Lane brings a necessary, gender-fluid, feminist perspective to the Emily Dickinson table of debate.
In bold tribute with a title utilising the last two words Emily Dickinson wrote, Rosa Lane's Called Back converses with one of our greatest poets in theatrical monologue—decoding secrets amid the blatant. Evoked by epigraphs selected from Dickinson's work, Lane's poems, through her I-speaker, reveal the extraordinary to be found in the ordinary and speak to the struggle of sexual orientation, otherness, and the challenges of living in a Calvinistic socioreligious world of oughts and noughts as evidenced in Dickinson's poems.
From sapphic eroticism and subsequent pangs of nonbelonging to tacking next life as a welcome reprieve, poems in Called Back create a de novo dot-connecting lyrical narrative.
