From self-harm to suicidal ideation, Greenspan tackles these harrowing topics through writing brimming with original language and wrought empathy. These challenging, lyrical poems ask readers to investigate their own relationship with grief and its effects on the body. Readers looking for stunning language and dense, rewarding poetry will find a new favorite poet in David Greenspan. This collection also features a bespoke interview with the writer at then end of the book, delving deeper into the craft, influences, and life behind their work.
