Winner of the 2016 Yale Series of Younger Poets prize A fresh and
rebellious poetic voice, Airea D. Matthews debuts in the acclaimed
series that showcases the work of exciting and innovative young
American poets. Matthews's superb collection explores the topic of
want and desire with power, insight, and intense emotion. Her poems
cross historical boundaries and speak emphatically from a
racialized America, where the trajectories of joy and exploitation,
striving and thwarting, violence and celebration are constrained by
differentials of privilege and contemporary modes of communication.
In his foreword, series judge Carl Phillips calls this book
"rollicking, destabilizing, at once intellectually sly and piercing
and finally poignant." This is poetry that breaks new literary
ground, inspiring readers to think differently about what poems can
and should do in a new media society where imaginations are laid
bare and there is no thought too provocative to send out into the
world.
