Sam Barbee opens a portal on a world in tumult, storms inside and out, and invites us to “pet my feral dread.” Observation of daily life calls forth a maximalist esthetic, a riot in language, images detonating against each other. In poetry of paradox and opposition, Barbee seeks the balm of nature, but finds it lurking only at the edges of devastation, like a lone crayfish at a pool’s edge after the hurricane. Timely in its use of colloquial language and touchstones such as masks and ADHD, these poems warn “we have all given consent” to horror of the modern-day, yet in broken landscapes we can sometimes find ourselves in “a pleat of bliss.”
