A small-press poetry object with a pleasingly feral internal logic.

It explores insects, sex, factories, queer violence, body parts, saints, circuitry, product lines, temple walls, nerve signals, and the ugly little economies that sit inside pleasure. The poems move across the page as much as along it, using spacing, fracture, drift, curved text and visual arrangement to make reading feel less like receiving a message than walking through a damaged sensorium.

Think erotic language under a microscope: desire broken into anatomy, voltage, slang, commodity, residue. Strange, local, tactile, formally restless, with enough venom in the honey to keep the whole thing from becoming decorative.
