About the Book:
even my dreams are over the constant state of anxiety is a collection bound by pulse and impulse, bent on giving body to the amorphic, and buoyed by the insistent beauty of a damaged planet. not only might we sing about the dark times, these poems agree, but also laugh as we struggle to find the light switch. with formal variation and sharp, innovative language that toggles from the lyric to the surreal, these poems awaken a new dreamscape in this age of anxiety, not unlike a deep and unexpected conversation with a stranger at a bar or in transit—intimate, funny, darkedged, unsettling, and strangely life-affirming.
“the blurb is a concrete and legible token of esteem and good old bonhomie among poets who comprise an intimate and intense sector of the literary landscape, and also presents the existential challenge of requesting—often of much-admired unfamiliars—not only to be seen, but deeply read, assessed, and responded to by poets who already have a lot on their plate, what with student theses and laureateships and serving as witness to the world and paying the bills, and so this poet has weaseled out of the asking and instead will use this space to extend appreciation to poets and readers of poetry everywhere, you’re the best.” —irene cooper
