The Bride of E
The Bride of E, Graywolf Press, 2009
In The Bride of E (2009), Bang constructs an abecedarian sequence— a poetic form in which each section, stanza, or poem follows the order of the alphabet—which includes a collage of historical and contemporary voices. The poems employ associative leaps between philosophical inquiry, pop culture, and poetic form, enacting the very techniques she also teaches in her poetry courses.
