How do you become your best self in what feels like the worst of worlds? Both probing and playful, the poems in this collection are interested in what it means to be a good person while trying to survive late capitalism. Is it our intentions or our actions which make us good? Is it enough to try to do better, or must our trying accomplish something? The speakers of these poems are often looking for better versions of themselves, imagining other selves within themselves, and seeking out alternate worlds in which they are themselves but new and improved.
