Abstract

Book Where Every Poem is a Spoke on a Wheel of the Party Wagon is a collection of poems that experiment with formal poetic structures to challenge abusive familial and religious structures, repurposing faithful sensibility to empower an irreverent speaker. Poems in this collection rewrite prayers, revise the outcomes of familial estrangement, and recollect history in order to reclaim the author’s queer American childhood, adulthood, and Catholic faith traditions.
