About this book

A fierce, provocative collection of poems exploring sexuality, queerness, the body, and disability in an ableist world

In this arresting collection, The Cyborg Jillian Weise navigates the intersection of disability and desire, wending her way through diners, bars, and dark living rooms lit by TV screens. Her words flit in and out of DMs, texts, and video chats, exploring the vital human thread that runs through the machines mediating our existence. Weaving personal narrative with cultural commentary and lyricism, these poems blur the line between flesh and technology, centering disabled and queer bodies and challenging our preconceptions of everything from opiate use to BDSM. In Pills and Jacksonvilles, Weise sharply claims “cyborg” as an identity of her own, embracing the space between human and technology and celebrating disabled culture and history.

Bold, sexy, and formally exciting, Weise’s poetry lays bare her most intimate self—pulling back the curtain on the loves, losses, and obsessions of a life.
