This is an ambitious, confessional poetry sequence centered on alcoholism, hospitalization, recovery, relapse, queer identity, and the struggle to rebuild a life. It recalls the tradition of poets such as Anne Sexton, Sharon Olds, and, in its documentary honesty, Ocean Vuong, while maintaining its own contemporary voice. It reads less like a collection of separate poems than as a memoir in verse. Why I Don't Go Outside I've been told my range is the tragic
And I only write about myself.
