Both, ApolloAuthor(s): Mary Wilson\nFormat: Paperback\nPublisher: Omnidawn Publishing, United States\nImprint: Omnidawn Publishing\nISBN-13: 9781632431066, 978-1632431066\nSynopsis\nA poetry collection that employs intuition, humor, and celebration while seeking to break out of restrictive social structures. Mary WilsonsBoth, Apollospeaks from inside the bodies and binaries that so often act as constraints. It sometimes tries to negotiate its way out. It laments, celebrates, reasons, jokes, and occasionally begs. It runs into a wall and hugs it, offers it pizza, and speeds through grammars and cities until dizziness catapults it from the grid. It tries to queer the echoes of its language in the hope that a rhyme might break the logic of either/or and give rise to both/and. Both, Apollois a love poem to whatever has the grace to appear, quietly finding hope. Moments of humor and tenderness accompany the speaker with each act of crossing and circling back.
