Jennifer Mackenzie's debut is an unfettered travelogue of embodied intellect and flights of gorgeous observance.
Go hang yourself
in the light undestroyed
tourist in the tremor of
a dirty window this is the famous
border we're coming up on hidden from
ourselves like the hunter whose sudden
antlers implied the death of self
in love No you shut up
) (
[That all good poetry is the poetry of exile]
is bullshit, I belong to my body & try
desperately & stubbornly to unknow it
The Individual distilled into
Outspoken by Fergie
