Reviews
Praise for Make Yourself Happy: "Haunted by the 20th century's dismal record of global species extinction and an uncertain world-historical future ahead, this book uncovers new forms of resistance to apathy and despair through a return to the etymological root of 'poet' as 'maker.' Whether Sikelianos is writing about making a paper globe, making a family, making a statement, or making yourself, she surveys the field of human endeavors to find new prospects for care amid precarious political contexts." --Srikanth Reddy, BOMB "Sikelianos's classic style always shows that she is the master of the line, especially the enjambed line, and she is able to write adeptly about this moving toward death that is hidden from her reader." --Laura Carter, VIDA "Enhanced by its illustrations and well researched, Make Yourself Happy is committed to seeing language in all its vibrancy make a plug for the universe." --Linda Lown-Klein, Rain Taxi Review of Books "This book is your invitation to the post-human pool party of the future." --Rae Armantrout "Besides the pleasure we feel, we see here a moral endeavor, an invitation to make ourselves happy. [Sikelianos's] journey finds its energy in her perfect ear for language and immense generosity of heart. Her openness lets in the sinuosities and cracks of what we may well end up calling 'being,' in her great project of telling us, in these worst moments of actual history, to be (urgently) happy because we are . . . happy." --Etel Adnan Praise for You Animal Machine: "A wonderfully strange and inventive book . . . The writing pulsates with such life force, reckless and a little giddy, as the author surveys her family's female history, the immigration of Greeks to America. . . This is writing and reading as adventure, where every page can bring a different sort of revelation." --Kirkus, starred review "Through artifacts-lists of songs, newspaper clippings, photographs, film posters, staged interviews, poems-the poet Sikelianos assembles a textual chimera that keeps sliding through her fingers . . . The text, as a result, is tough as nails: you can feel Sikelianos at work, forcibly stitching it with catgut string, only to watch it fly apart again" --Jenny Hendrix, The Believer "As feminism reaches the height of the hashtag, Sikelianos instead drums forward a woman's experience with other words . . . Here lies Sikelianos' prowess: she gives readers the power to imagine and inquire and be ridiculous as we do so." --Aileen McGraw, Huffington Post "Sikelianos is a shamanistic denizen of the desert and the dark, but her journey is laced with irony as well as wisdom and beauty--expect lazurite to coexist with KFC bones stuffed under a mattress, expect a narrator as tough and hard-assed as her fascinating, fugitive subject. No matter how one summarizes its scope or achievement, You Animal Machine will surpass it." --Maggie Nelson "This is Sikelianos at her most rapturous and hallucinatory, a gravestone rubbing that captures the smudgy mess of language and summons with it a fantastical map of what makes us human, what makes us feral, and what still has the ability to make us tremble in wonder at a time when the world has convinced itself that it knows enough already. Held together by dream, by luck, by chain link and goat weed, this is an essay that gets it right: 'Let me try to do this thing. Please get the fuck out of my way.'" --John D'Agata

Synopsis
Eleni Sikelianos, "a master of mixing genres" (Time Out New York), further bends time and space in Your Kingdom, an ode to our more-than-human animal origins. As she studies the wild roots of our past, present, and future, Sikelianos, one of our foremost practitioners of ecopoetic exploration, finds solace in the complexity of our natural lineage as we face the environmental precarity of the present. inquisitively and energetically investigates our notion of biological kingdoms, calling us to "let the body feel all its own evolution inside.", Eleni Sikelianos, "a master of mixing genres" (Time Out New York), further bends time and space in Your Kingdom, an ode to our more-than-human animal origins. As she studies the wild roots of our past, present, and future, Sikelianos, one of our foremost practitioners of ecopoetic exploration, finds solace in the complexity of our natural lineage as we face the environmental precarity of the present. Our shoulders and hips were invented by salamanders. Hidden motives bind us to cuckoos and caterpillars. Our faces form biological maps while our organs trace the shapes of our animal ancestors. From the cellular to the celestial, Your Kingdom inquisitively and energetically investigates our notion of biological kingdoms, calling us to "let the body feel all its own evolution inside."
