Iron-on Constellations
Defiantly exploring the beauty and complexity of the everyday, the poetry of this collection takes on urban life. By sifting through the grit and grime of the city, the poet reveals the isolation, illness, love, and sexuality lurking beneath. Through short, confident bursts with the same startling colorfulness as graffiti on an alley wall, the poems reveal hidden layers of emotion and political motivation.
