Epithalamia book cover

Poetry chapbook, Horse Less Press Books 2015 (out of print)

 

Epithalamia contains love poems and poems about weddings in the tradition of the epithalamium, an ancient Greek wedding hymn popularized by Sappho. The poems in this chapbook, each set in a different state, explore the spiritual, political, and personal meanings of marriage at a moment in American history when the definition of marriage differed across state lines.

Alternates book cover

Poetry chapbook, dancing girl press 2014

 

“In Alternates, Alyse Knorr’s exquisite sequence of prose poems, the poet deploys narrative subtly, obliquely, and allows the present tense to stand as a figment—a precarious now constantly eliding into a past, into a future. In these poems, past, present, and future merge, meld, mutate and we discover how a single story can embody a multiverse, an endless archive of alternates, how a story is never told, but always retold. You are hearing this story for the first time. Somehow you know that this story always breaks your heart.”

 

--Eric Pankey, author of Trace
