She is joy's pronoun! - ERÍN MOURE
She is a capacious city of rich human habitation, where elation is every day’s caring infusion. Her cityscapes are painted deftly—in few words, in pauses, in juxtapositions, in fond attentions, in breath and the difficulty of breath, by a poet who knows deeply that life is fragile and that age comes and alters us. She says: the world loves us back when we love it. Flowers, streets, lovers, skies, persons, walks, in/fusions. She is joy’s pronoun! — Erín Moure, Theophylline
A Poetic Migration Via the Modernisms of Rukeyser, Bishop, Grimké (de Castro, Vallejo)
Real joy lives in Kirby's She, joy that aches because it was earned, joy that rekindles itself—until it doesn't (and so must be savoured): "That recipe will go with her." A precious resource, these poems shimmer, and not just the ones I read through tears: grief, desire, inheritance, perseverance." — Neil Surkan, Unbecoming, On High
From the author of Poetry is Queer and This is Where I Get Off, their highly-anticipated new full-length collection.
“Hello my gorgeousness.”
