With language crispy, sharp, focused and forgiving, Rucker pulls us into the creation and destruction of what can be revealed when we hold our truths to sunlight and midnight's dark. This debut is resplendent ... Dereliction brought me to tears. --Joseliah Rebekah Hughes

Dereliction, Gabrielle Octavia Rucker's debut collection of poetry, moves through childhood and into the afterlife with poems that evoke an artful and urgent sense of the author's insatiable wandering. With cinematic imagery and formal variation, these poems effortlessly find dream-life and myth transforming the daily actions of talking on the phone or finding your reflection in the window. The bracing intimacy of Rucker's voice invites us into a precise and carefully constructed world in which we are asked to question what it means to do the human things, and where the poet eventually asks the reader, and possibly poetry itself, What bloody lens holds firm between this mystery & us?
