i am UPSET. this is one of those collections you have to put down every couple poems to whisper "WOW" into the quiet of your room because you feel physically winded.

A second collection from a Cave Canem fellow that also has an accompanying playlist? Count me in.
Some highlights:
- Days of 2014: "This is how I escaped the world. A little foam."
- Tenderness: "If I sent a postcard to everyone I loved
it's say, Sometimes I think you're just too good for me."
- The Witching Hour: "hive—imagine if bees were nocturnal,
making physical what night is
on their patrols: possibility. Imagine centuries of women
(burned), living foreign and old (jailed), naming
names (_____)."
- Flies
- Letter to Brandon "Is this how you write fiction? Plot isn't fate exactly."
- Birth Chart
- The Devil's Book: "I simply asked to die
on my own terms."
- Villiers
- Dear & Decorations: "Let my farewell and arrival
tease the same gasp from you. Let your sound
surprise you every time."
- Poem for Julián: "Being in the world, loss is first and least and awe."
- Lilting
