Bøger i Drinking Gourd Chapbook Poetry Prize serien

This poetry collection creates a new mythology, repurposing spectacle, stereotype, and song. Inspired by the fictions and frictions of the past, each poem complicates the next. Lush lyrical moments give way to fracture, vulnerability, and reinvention.

Both reverent and daring, this collection of verse interrogates religion, race, class, family, and sexuality. Written as a call to action, the collection pulls together prayer, popular culture, and technology to tell a twenty-first-century migrant story.
