This was the Rumpus Poetry Book Club pick for May, and I picked well, if I may say so. The poems ache and yearn and demand your attention. I think it officially released today. Order a copy from YesYes books, one of the best poetry publishers around right now.
All this gorgeousness in my mailbox.
If you only buy one poetry collection this year, let it be this one. I haven't even read it yet, but Jonterri always delivers.
