Please (New Issues Poetry & Prose)
Everyone sings in this live-wire, passionate book... --Mark DotyThis is the poetry of blood-ship: the meaning of family, of love, of sexuality; the resonances of pain and the possibilities of redemption. --Terrance HayesThe silent terror in these poems is the future they seem to inform despite the attempts to integrate the incoherent with the coherent moments of lived experience. PLEASE continually repositions its readers inside the violence of the interruption, the psychic break. --Claudia Rankine
