Excerpt:
“Static’s a winter / phenomenon, oracular: friction, sting. Shorn, I’ll be braver. / Someone places a meaty hand on my thigh.”
Recommended by:
Eduardo C. Corral, author of Slow Lightning.
Stated simply:
Severed from personal and national narratives, the speakers in Grand & Arsenal survey a landscape that alternates between the futuristic and the now. This vacillation troubles the gaze of the speakers: the things of the world are battered and sanctified. Full of gorgeous imagery and wily music, these poems fill me with envy and gratitude.
