We Have with Us Your Sky

Poetry. WE HAVE WITH US YOUR SKY is a ransom note from the oppressor, a love note from the collective, and a cryptic indicator of the ability of language to express and destroy the self. The poems speakers are often trapped, abandoned, sardonic, clueless, murderous, obedient, and responsive; the kid speaks, and the grunt, the receptionist, the mother, the man. Exploring the textures of visual, verbal, aural, and chance meaning-making, the poems forge a consciousness intent on connection as much as destruction.
