Crush

This powerful collection of poetry, winner of the Yale Younger Poets prize, explores the themes of obsession and love through confessional and savage poems charged with violent eroticism. With a voice striking in the world of American poetry, the author writes with ferocity and takes the reader on a journey of apocalyptic power and purgatorial recklessness. According to competition judge Louise Glück, this book restores to poetry a sense of crucial moment and utterance, making it a must-read for any poetry enthusiast.
