Regular price $10.00
Featuring an introduction by poet, mother, and educator Brittany Rogers.
Formally inventive, emotionally symphonic, glittering and fractal—threesome in the last Toyota Celica & other circus tricks sways on the edge of molten passion, gazing down into the complicated violence and revelries of its origins. In modes of praise and elegy, this work sings about Black queer femmehood in harmonies of multiple voices, asserting the self as ever-changing and voluminous. Always in hot pursuit of fresh desire, m. mick powell’s work shows us that to be human is to exist on the precipice of transformation, where all things are gilded with the luster of deep longing, even as the world burns.
