Official synopsis Publisher
Covering an array of translucent, highly cogent, playful registers, the intensely evocative electric poems from Sara Youngblood Gregory’s RUN. are raw, peregrinated, biblical, socially and sexually sharp. Youngblood Gregory is bold and brave in both form and content, addressing disability and tragedy and heartache with extraordinary depth of psychological clarity and lexical humor. Their chapbook is witty, chromatically stimulating, and has a subliminal bite of both esoteric eroticism and life-torn melancholy that makes the readers feel profoundly attached to the un-binary lovers of pain and language. Reading this pithy collection in one sitting will make you feel like you have been personally and timelessly electrocuted by the intensity and high voltage of their queer brilliance, beauty, and their life’s inevitable pathos.
