An exploration of the various ways language can help us transcend both the banal and unusual cruelties which are inevitably delivered to us, and which we equally deliver unto others. These poems comb through violence and love, fear and loss, exploring the common denominators in each. Against Which seeks the ways human beings might transform themselves from participants in a thoughtless and brutal world to laborers in a loving one.

"The bullet, like you, simply craves
the warmth of the body. Like you, only wants
to die in someone's arms."

Gut me, why don't you. From "The Bullet, in Its Hunger" #poetry
