Are the Rivers in Your Poems Real
About this book
Amidst the dangers of figurative language, the coercion of sentimentality, and the insidious freight of abstraction, these poems embody the necessity for the critical, the communal, the real. Are the Rivers in Your Poems Real uses conceptual critiques of public discourse and experimental social cartographies, as well as lyrics of intimacy, to defy prescribed ways of being. This is an act of resistance against dangerous and domineering narratives, and the power they inscribe.

It is Saturday and I have so much to do.
I want to layer three stories with undercurrents and pile them on the
bed behind me. I want to finish both these magazines. Why won’t they just
unpack into my mind? It is 2018. No, what am I saying.
It’s 2019. And the world is disturbed.
There is snow outside and this room is warm.
