TY - JOUR TI - This mess is how I feel for you DO - https://doi.org/doi:10.7282/T37084RT PY - 2018 AB - This poetry collection explores the elemental messiness of our lives. Where does one of us end and the other begin? How are we shaped by our environs? Rooted in place in the Delaware River Valley, the poems follow a playful and meditative speaker who considers what tethers his identity to other people and things. The collection considers how our ideas of our lives are made up of things beyond our own bodies, and so follows rhythms of absorbing what passes through ourselves before we must let it all go.
