In March 2020, Lucas Crawford was quarantined at the Banff Centre
for the Arts, coughing like a good fat asthmatic at high altitude,
in the middle of a breakup, not knowing when or how he would get
home, or where home would be when he got home. What does a
depressed professor do, stranded in a dorm room? Write poems.Muster
Points is a frank discussion of pleasure, plain, nostalgia, desire,
and health from a "fancy academic" who refuses to shy away from the
blood and sweat of depression or the glorious fluids of queer sex.
These poems bring us on a trans boy's trips through the sharp-shard
runs of heterosexual marriages, into weird rural masculinities and
their fraught survival, into the love language of regret and
persistent, inconvenient desire. As Crawford packs his two
suitcases and bangs into past selves, tenuous futures, and a global
emergency, he tracks his collisions toughly and tenderly,
documenting every relic and clue. He travels to the core of his
sexual politic, through the front door and to the back of his mind.
Muster Points arouses thoughts and provokes them, using visceral
language and unequivocal vulnerability to conjure a place where all
who enter may be seen as they are seen.
