{"product_id":"visions-of-divines-love-a-drag-theoretic","title":"Visions of Divine's Love: A Drag Theoretic","description":"\u003cp\u003eHere, written down \"visions\" are spliced with \"visualizations,\" mixed media icons that blur the medieval and (post)modern, transforming the book into a pseudo-cinematic experience of text, image, and the movement between them. The loose story framing the poems describes cloistered professor and film buff Dr. Julia Johnson -- a reimagined Julian -- and her nameless teaching assistant, a novice nun, as the former reflects on all that was shown to her in viewing the cult classic. As a queer woman in a conflated 14th\/20th century, Johnson's vision is television, her Christs are Dreamlanders, and her revelations are sparked by the spectacular rites of the cinema. Through the theoria of filmic engagement, the poems in \u003cem\u003eVISIONS OF DIVINE'S LOVE\u003c\/em\u003e uncover secrets about Julia, the viewer, the world, and, indeed, about the divine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMax Yeshaye Brumberg-Kraus\u003c\/strong\u003e is a writer, drag performer and theopoet in Saint Paul, MN.
