A poetry collection that employs intuition, humor, and celebration
while seeking to break out of restrictive social structures. Mary
Wilson's Both, Apollo speaks from inside the bodies and binaries
that so often act as constraints. It sometimes tries to negotiate
its way out. It laments, celebrates, reasons, jokes, and
occasionally begs. It runs into a wall and hugs it, offers it
pizza, and speeds through grammars and cities until dizziness
catapults it from the grid. It tries to queer the echoes of its
language in the hope that a rhyme might break the logic of
"either/or" and give rise to "both/and." Both, Apollo is a love
poem to whatever has the grace to appear, quietly finding hope.
Moments of humor and tenderness accompany the speaker with each act
of crossing and circling back. The poems in Both, Apollo are
constantly in flux, and Wilson's lyricism acts as a teaching tool
for using both the real and the imagination to guide us in
moment-by-moment navigation of our world. Both, Apollo won the
Omnidawn Chapbook contest, selected by Victoria Chang.
