Bitsui's new collection delivers exactly what I wanted: a jarring, complex interplay of imagery and language. His poems wrap and weave in the most unexpected way but never stray from the wild heart of embodied experience.

Flood Song reverberates off of lumber, standing trees, asphalt and the desert floor. Opening up like a can of Spam, filled with toothed moths or a slick garage door.
Images roiling over!

Bitsui's first collection bears out its title in exquisite form. Reoccurring images of fists, backs, seeds, and ash bear in them anger and resistance in the wake of disturbed or unrendered change, while nature, cities, and bodies bleed together in brilliant use of figurative language. Bitsui's images are startling in mythic depth and originality. I could not predict the path of any poem and so many cut close to the bone.

This collection was challenging as HELL, but so worth it ultimately. It's one I definitely want to go back to--it was my first venture back into poetry in a long time, and it was really a challenge to parse. Bitsui's poems are so full of images that it is borderline overwhelming and can be hard to follow at times, but it definitely sweeps you along even as it also jars you out of your comfort zone. The last two poems especially are so beautiful and shattering and hopeful and I really loved them. I recommend reading this but giving it a lot of time to sit with.… (mais)
