Description
The poems of Vizcaya map years of emotional and ecological landscape. They traverse the westernmost tip of Portugal. They sing a dirge in the style of a Seventh Day Adventist hymn. They travel the breadth of Florida, from oyster country in Apalachicola to the southernmost point of Biscayne Bay. The speaker recounts “every lousy fuck [...I] can count on two hands” and dreams of sharing a common language of queerness. The poems lament. They hope. They bare their teeth.
Special thanks to Ugly Duckling Presse for publishing the poem "Strangler Fig" in their chapbook "Splitting the Real."
