'Who Loves At All' by Natalie Briggs
Couldn't load pickup availability
Who Loves At All moves through familial, platonic and erotic relationships as dynamic, lived arrangements, rather than something static.
Published as number 14 in Rabbit’s Poets Series, it belongs to the journal’s broader project of “nonfiction poetry,” but Briggs makes that form feel especially intimate—less confession than the record left behind when experience is allowed to remain contradictory.
The poems are direct, fragmentary and often funny. There's a website, Frida Kahlo, doctors, television, lovers and family all occupying the same poem without hierarchy; ordinary cultural debris becomes part of the machinery through which a self understands intimacy. The collection’s real subject is attachment: who we love, what loving someone asks us to disclose, and the strange residue people leave in one another. Rabbit describes the collection as moving across familial, platonic and intimate relationships, while contemporary responses particularly noted Briggs’s intensity and physicality.
