| book description |

Quiver is a book of reckoning, a book of ghosts, a book of lineal fracture and generational fatherlesness. Itâ€™s a visceral guide through boyhood into fatherhood. One that yields witness to trauma, erotic shames, brutalities and toxic masculinity, and in so doing, emerges with a speaker beginning to free himself. Patricia Smith said it best: â€œQuiver will change the way you see.â€ â€œfloodghostâ€ Mother couldnâ€™t manage what sated me, so she prayed: sought in silence a substance thatâ€™d soothe, something familial with grace. I groaned. Broke bodies over blacktopâ€™s pane, a bottom- less well of blood. At seven I smothered a frog and fed each leg to my quivering sister laughed while she choked out its skin. At twelve, I pulled a pistol from under the vacant shed and shoved its shudder to a schoolboyâ€™s temple, teasedÂ while he wept in his piss. And yet all along a Psalm, a satchel of prayer: song. Mother making contracts with the sky, while I tore its pages to light a fire, warm my hands around it. Radiant blue. Red from a faraway pine.
