sam sax's bury it, winner of the 2017 James Laughlin Award from the
Academy of American Poets, begins with poems written in response to
the spate of highly publicized young gay suicides in the summer of
2010. What follows are raw and expertly crafted meditations on
death, rituals of passage, translation, desire, diaspora, and
personhood. What's at stake is survival itself and the archiving of
a lived and lyric history. Laughlin Award judge Tyehimba Jess says
"bury it is lit with imagery and purpose that surprises and jolts
at every turn. Exuberant, wild, tightly knotted mesmerisms of
discovery inhabit each poem in this seethe of hunger and sacred
toll of toil. A vitalizing and necessary book of poems that dig
hard and lift luminously." In this phenomenal second collection of
poems, Sam Sax invites the reader to join him in his interrogation
of the bridges we cross, the bridges we burn, and bridges we must
leap from.
