<p>This collection chronicles coming of age as a queer millennial in a twenty-first century&nbsp;America defined by the internet, climate crisis, and a growing disconnection that the poems within work to resist. Here, everyone and everything serves as a potential reflection for&nbsp;something larger than the poet can understand: an unknown debit card thief, the cartoon teacher Ms. Frizzle, The Weather Channel, an RV park, a dead poet. These poems seek to&nbsp;make something of the spaces between and reach toward a sense of the ecstatic just beyond. They are poems of imagination and vision that strive to look rather than look away,&nbsp;that attempt to capture a nebulous feeling before it is gone for good. <i>Swan Hammer</i> is an&nbsp;instructor's guide to connection-making, of seeing and then seeing again, in ways that have&nbsp;been redefined in the age of the internet. Here is one poet's wandering relationship to their&nbsp;own sense of what it is to be alive and queer at a time when there is so much on the brink of&nbsp;disappearing--and what a queer experience it is.</p>
