Thieve is a pointed, political book, though the politics here are
local, particular, physically felt. The central sequence of
poems-subtitled "Poem against the Crumbling of the Republic"-was
written in direct response to the poet's own transition from rural
poverty to coastal liberal comfort, as well as the presidential
election of 2016, which brought to the national consciousness grave
division in American society between urban and rural people. Thieve
is a poetic attempt, as someone who knows/has known both worlds, to
speak across that chasm. Thieve also interrogates chasms and
barriers between the human and the natural, the present and the
past, the parent and the child, between what we earn and what by
grace is given.
