I planted a FOR SALE sign at the back of my throat. But what it really advertises is how the corner of my mouth and my arteries like to give away my secrets for free. Found within the pages of this book is a fenestration of how a woman is dealing with the collapse of their world. The poet shows you such a harsh reality of being until it rips you to your marrow. "This book is the most perfect collection of American poetry in over a generation, an instant classic, and something that should be in everyone's poetry collection." - Adam Shove Godshots Wanted: Apply Within is the first full-length title from Emily Perkovich. In this collection she addresses and ties together a multitude of themes and triggers, most notably, domestic and sexual abuse, suicidal ideation, self-harm, addiction, eating disorders, death and grief, and mental health disorders and diagnosis.

Sunday Mornings at the RIver

"I haven't been able to sleep."Confusion builds in this sleepless fever-dream, where our narrator finds themselves searching for a way out. Corvus, a group consisting of two crows and a raven, is always present and eager to assist, but are they really just chatty birds? And why does time seem to loop and reset? How does it all tie together?Written in a surreal and interlocking lyrical prose, Swallow is an immersive journey through an insomnia-plagued mind. In this traumatic, dream-like landscape, you stumble through discomfort and horror with creatures and scenery that are rarely what they seem to be at first glance. This is a reckoning with the demons of one's past and a constant pushing through to reach one's birth.

baby, sweeetheart, honey is a poetry collection with a focus on the aggression against women and femmes, through a sexually fluid, sex worker's lens. Pieces touch on generational and religious trauma, mental health, addiction, woman on woman toxicity, the violent language and behavior of men (particularly cisgender heterosexual men) against women and femmes, eating disorders, and social performance. The work in this collection is explicit in its transparency and therefore some pieces are graphic and should be read with care. &#65279;To say Emily Perkovich's baby, sweetheart, honey is brilliant, is an understatement. The collection is potent, at times unsettling, but an incredible read. Perkovich is such a master poet that her imagery is both soft and lurid. In the poem May Crowning she writes "I watched an orchid blossom beneath the hem of my skirt/ And I'll tell you what/ It's in the petals unfurling that I fall in love" So many of the powerful poems in the collection capture what it means to walk through the world as a woman; they do not shy away from gender politics and trauma. D&C & I'll burn my own funeral pyre are haunting, while Girls, Girls, Girls is a battle cry. So many lines and poems that will stay with the reader long after they finish this ultimately empowering collection. -Marisa Silva-Dunbar, author of Allison and When Goddesses Wake
