Winner of Hanging Loose Press's annual Founders Award for a first book of poetry, Affidavit captures the passionate intensity of motherhood and custody battles within the constraining shape of bureaucratic legal forms. Presenting us with the horrors of incarceration and the wonders of birth, these poems testify to the power of parental love even amidst the suffocating apparatuses of the courtroom. Formally and emotionally complex, Affidavit pays attention to what happens when private lives are forced into public arenas of judgement. May-lee Chai described Starr Davis as A writer whose work inspires both hope and rage, leaving me eager to read more of this singular voice.
