A Boy In The City Av S. Yarberry

<p><strong>In this debut collection of poetry, the obscure and mundane collide, a fricassee of movement, the cosmopolitan, and intimacy.</strong></p><p><em>A Boy in the City</em> uses poems as pillars to interrupt and excavate an interiority that unfolds and interrogates grim thoughts and intimacy. Yarberry weaves a sexy, glitzy journey through their city, where the speaker can “pose” and “compose” in a “trans way, of course.” Clever in its playful allusions to Greek myths, William Blake, and other literary figures, <em>A Boy in the City</em> is a distinct work of joy and liberation that reckons with the language of gender and desire.</p>
