This is an ambitious, confessional poetry sequence centered on alcoholism, hospitalization, recovery, relapse, queer identity, and the struggle to rebuild a life. It recalls the tradition of poets such as Anne Sexton, Sharon Olds, and, in its documentary honesty, Ocean Vuong, while maintaining its own contemporary voice. It reads less like a collection of separate poems than as a memoir in verse.
Why I Don’t Go Outside
I've been told my range is the tragic
And I only write about myself.
Well here are some current events:
Two doors down from where I live
A 14 year kid old shot an adult, aged 35,
Six times and killed him.
With the help of a 19 year old
I stack the numbers like Legos or lipsticks or cuts on my legs.
2 – 14 – 35 – 6 – 19
I could play the lotto with this.
