POETRY






The Amputee's Guide to Sex by Jillian Wise, reviewed by ER

"This is NOT a sex guidebook - it is poetry. Simple and beautifully written poetry about the medical, the body, scars, stories, sex, life, growing up, pain and love. This is poetry you will actually like :)"

Crush by Richard Siken, reviewed by FG

"Richard Siken writes poetry that renders everything else silent. His only published collection, 'Crush,' plays with the desperation and comfort of love and connection and the anxiety of it’s eventual, inevitable dissolution. He drenches each poem in staggering, sacramental narratives that solidify the panic induced with the understanding that in the end, nothing is ours to keep."
