Synopsis

It is clear that the author is madly in love, not only with her partner for whom she writes both idiosyncratic and sultry poems for, but in love with language, in love with queerness, in love with the therapeutic process of bankrupting the politics of shame. These poems tackle gun violence, toxic masculinity, LGBTQ* struggles, suicidality, and the oppression of women’s bodies, while maintaining a vivid wildness that the tongue aches to speak aloud. Known best for breathtaking last lines and truths that will bowl you over, Drive Here and Devastate Me will “relinquish you from the possibility of meeting who you could have been, and regretting who you became.”

Her poetry is very different from the poems of others (specifically her partner, Andrea (which isn’t to say I don’t love Andrea’s work because I absolutely do)), and the nuances pres......more

Falley is a powerhouse of a poet. She is funny and fearless and brash and tender. This book feels like a natural extension of her person. It is such a charming and gut-wrenching work. I look forward to revisiting it again and again in the future.......more
