Love Dream With Television

by Hannah Ensor

Poetry. Women's Studies. LGBTQIA Studies. "LOVE DREAM WITH TELEVISION wonders through the ways in which television, film, advertising, sporting events, and celebrity culture weave their ways into our lived experiences not only of the world but of ourselves: our relationships, our identity structures, our politics, our daily lived experiences of bookstores, national parks, museums, going to the gym. It's a book informed by the place and community in which it was written; Tucson and its queers have pushed me to be more in my body, more in conversation with place and spirit and alchemy. The body that wrote this book was stretching more, trying to breathe and look around and feel."--Hannah Ensor

I loved this book. Strongly recommend.

An exceptionally well-done collection of poems, some prose and some in more traditional free verse, that (more or less) successfully speak in a millennial cadence and vernacular. There are some poems that cold be easily critiqued as being too temporally located almost to the point of being outdated now, four or so years later, but I think if you can get past that, there is some remarkably strong work here. Also, more poets should write poems about basketball.
