A Bony Framework for the Tangible Universe

My first book, A Bony Framework for the Tangible Universe (The Operating System, 2019), is a hybrid collection of poems, lyric essays, dictionary erasures, and images that explores themes of illness, gender, queer kinship, and intimacy.

The Operating System is an incredible organism, and I’m not just saying that because they’re publishing my book. This is a great time to support a vital small press by preordering other books, chapbooks, and hybrid projects from the 2019 catalog, and to peruse all of the amazing books from previous years. A few of my favorites are what the werewolf told them / lo que les dijo el licantropo, The Color She Gave Gravity, and Marilyn.
