“A lyrical interrogation

of Western notions.”

—Publisher’s Weekly

Moving through expansive conversations between a lyric “I” and others…

“A complex and intricately layered collection.”
Booklist

YES

Yes to a poetry willing to enact the errors,

uncertainties, and tangled complexities

of our political, sexual, and social lives.
