selva oscura, paperback

Publication Date: December 1, 2020

"History is really an invitation / by way of arranged language / to read the occulted / in plain sight:/ a poem. // This book is a commingling of archives / with copious attributions / without peer review or a known market. / A history in which the document / is contemporary nonfiction / represented in verse // language's contemporaneity taken back / from archive-as-Empire's governance / and my poem journals are archival."—from "CODA"
