Bec & Call

Ambrose Albert

"Bec and Call focuses on quotidian life, family relationships, and female sexuality. These are bold and vocal poems, prone to over-sharing. The French wordplay in the title uses "bec"--a kiss, mouthpiece or beak--to repurpose the concept of being at someone's beck and call. Bec and Call is a means of vocalizing the societal dérangement of Acadian culture amidst assimilating forces and the difficulties women encounter as a result of rape culture and anti-feminism."--
