These are poems that rock you like a tilt-a-whirl, off-kilter and non-stop.
In this collection of poems by Joe Hall, you might find yourself laid off at a cannabis grow or vomiting gold. You might find yourself screaming in your underwear at the tech bro in the derelict arcade in your head. You might find your despair here or a gentle sign of change. Many of the poems here unearth histories in which people refuse the systems that designate them waste or wastable in hyper-compacted blocks of poetry and prose. Defiant, funny, and gentle, this book braids the panic-inducing catastrophes of now with a long view of solidarity in struggle.
A poet, critic, and junk bookmaker, Joe Hall is conducting a lifelong investigation into the intersections of labor, ecology, imagination, and structures of violence. He is the author of Pigafetta Is My Wife, The Devotional Poems, and Someone’s Utopia, all also published by Black Ocean. He has performed nationally at universities, living rooms, squats, and rivers. His writing has appeared in places like Poetry Daily, Postcolonial Studies, Best Buds! Collective, terrain.org, Peach Mag, PEN America Blog, and an NFTA bus shelter. He lives in Buffalo, NY.
