Testament

In this book-length poem, G.C. Waldrep addresses matters as diverse as Mormonism, cymatics, race, Dolly the cloned sheep, and his own life and faith. Drafted over twelve trance-like days while in residence at Hawthornden Castle, Waldrep responds to such poets as Alice Notley, Lisa Robertson, and Carla Harryman, and tackles the question of whether gender can be a lyric form.

**G.C. Waldrep**'s books include *Disclamor* (BOA Editions Ltd., 2007) and* Your Father on the Train of Ghosts* (BOA Editions, Ltd., 2011). He lives in Lewisburg, Pennsylvania, where he teaches at Bucknell University, edits *West Branch*, and serves as editor-at-large for the *Kenyon Review*.
