All These Pronouns Jump Bones

S.A. Harper has never participated in a slam poetry competition. But make no mistake: the poems in this collection have the blunt, staccato truth of slam. Without a doubt, Harper's poems about sex are meant to be read aloud. These are poems that have the rhythms of your - of everyone's - daily desires. They have the beats of sexting and Craigslist hookups, of Tumblr and porn. These are poems of young love, of blind passion, of romance and threesomes and lonely solo nights. Harper's poems can also contain quiet beauty and tenderness. And even haiku about sex often have humor.
