Stegosaurus Moon
Stegosaurus Moon explores heartbreak, divorce, parenthood and the discovery of new, often unexpected, ways forward.
Poem by poem, the speakers puzzle through how one love comes apart and how a new life comes together in its wake.
Through encounters with everything from dinosaurs and scorpionflies, Britney Spears and the Rock, birthdays, deaths, pets, teenagers, Raiders of the Lost Ark and Rupaul’s Drag Race, the sequence builds into an examination of how the language of queer identity can be weaponized or can open space for more expansive ways to live and love. A tender accounting of the poet peering into a mirror that morphs and warps with language that consistently astounds, these pieces walk in step with the work of Ross Gay, Jeffrey McDaniel, Denise Duhamel, and Jennifer L. Knox.

This one wasn't quite hitting. DNF at page 35
Domestic poems in simple, straight forward language. All the poems feel near each other in time, like they were written a few years ago, all in a row, about that same year. All orbiting the author's divorce.
