Originally published in America in 2006, and out of print for the last
seven years, Incubation: a space for monsters is a formally
innovative, hybrid-genre book that incorporates poetry and prose. Set in
a shifting narrative environment, where human bodies, characters, and
text are neither one thing nor another, this fragmentary-diaristic text
journeys through the spaces in-between. Following protagonist
Laloo--Cyborg, girl, mother, child, immigrant, settler--on a roadtrip
through American landscapes, genre styles, and form, Incubation
creates radical space for what is 'monstrous'. In this document there is
a celebration in the cobbling together of lives; global in scope, with
an intimate focus on interior voice, this landmark text evidences the
early innovations and talents of this T.S. Eliot prizewinning author.
