In this jarring collection, Adam Pottle cracks open the world of
disability, illuminating it with an idiom that is both unsettling
and exhilarating. His subjects are gritty and multifarious: amputee
sex swingers; drug-related shootings; and, institutionalized
adolescents coerced into sterilization. Difficult as their
circumstances may seem, Pottle's denizens learn to navigate the
world with creative resolve, even defiance, searching for an
identity that includes their disabilities rather than spites them.
His poems scrape our nerves; they test and undermine poetic forms,
and challenging our own sensibilities in the process.
