Paige Qui??ones's incisive debut poetry collection investigates the
trauma of desire. Qui??ones's lyric world is populated with stark
dualities: procreation and childlessness, predator and prey, mania
and depression. A hunter pursues an ill-fated fox through the
woods; heaven is paved with girls who would rather drown than be
born; a couple returns from their honeymoon to find a stagnant pond
in their marriage bed. Through navigating these duplicities,
Qui??ones arrives at a version of femininity that is at once fierce
and crystalline, and unmistakably her own. She writes, ""My
reflection can only growl back, in water or oil-slick or silver.
This is an exercise in forgiveness. I dip my feet in."" The Best
Prey charts the complexity of hunger in vivid, visceral terms, and
ultimately arrives at a sense of self that encompasses the
contradictions of sensuality, violence, and power.
