Book Information

...a majority of these poems fetishize american nationalism, not to mention stroking the heroic ego of every cis white liberal who cannot imagine a greater trauma that having had to isolate during a pandemic. No wonder Gorman performed at Biden's inaguration, her content reads like a party PR release. While gorgeous in cadence and structure, you'd have to read most of Gorman's poems from a purely superficial standpoint to enjoy. There are countless poets out there creating truly rad work. Read that instead.
