FINALIST for the 2022 California Book Awards in Poetry! FINALIST
for the 2022 Publishing Triangle's Audre Lorde Award for Lesbian
Poetry! "Permanent Volta is a lush collection of poetry about the
possibilities of love outside capitalism, and love as a way to
resist its abuses."-Vogue A debut collection of love poems that
resist subjection and ask how we might live together outside of
capitalism, providing for each other through intimate acts of care
and struggle Permanent Volta is a book of poems about constraint
and debt, as much as it is about excess, credit, loving luxury, and
hating work. These are love poems about how queer intimacies invent
political and poetic forms, how gender deviance imagines
post-sovereign presents and futures. Taking cues from Rosa
Luxemburg's birdsongs and the syntax of invasive flowers, these
poems strive to love lack. If history sees writers as tops and
muses as bottoms, these poems are motivated by refusal, inversion,
and evading representation. In Permanent Volta, the muses demand
wages, and then they demand the world. Full of bad grammar, strange
sonnets, and truncated sestinas, these poems are melancholy and
militant, lazy and anti-state, greedy and collective. Permanent
Volta is for anyone motivated by the homoerotic and intimate
etymology of comrade: one who shares the same room.
