Against Heaven
Minneapolis, MN: Graywolf Press, 2022. First Edition. Softcover. "She was born for the fifth time in 1990/ from pork fat and church-boy jazz.// Says she was built by sun-backed backs/ in a city lost inside its own mouth.// The Midwest taught her all about heartbreak:/ the speed paint color fades,// how beauty abandoned is beauty begrudged,/ refuses to pose again." ("Depression Proposes to Me Again," first four stanzas, pg. 51)..... More
