Nightnursing by Tiana Reid, Goose Lane Editions: A frenetic diary about sobriety and what recovery really means in a world where the innate need for “better” is both trauma and treatment. The poems in this nuanced collection delve into the terrible beauty of unbaked work, critical practice, and state-sanctioned care. Nightnursing simultaneously runs toward and away from reality, grappling with the gravity of memory, of remembering, of a “mind constantly rewriting what happened.” https://gooselane.com/products/nightnursing

Narrow Rooms by Choi Sungmin, Drawn & Quarterly: Narrow Rooms follows a young woman who leaves her rural hometown to study in Seoul and seek self-improvement. But once there, she quickly becomes the target of unwanted attention from her teacher, and the whispers of other students only deepen her alienation. Living in a cramped, poorly soundproofed room, the suffocating atmosphere begins to further distort her boundaries and perceptions. Longing for escape, she fixates on a handsome new neighbor, her fascination spiraling into obsession: She secretly rummages through his mailbox, collects his discarded cigarette butts and teabags, and hoards his trash. But when she discovers something unsavory about the object of her desire, will she be forced to confront the morals of her own behavior? https://drawnandquarterly.com/books/narrow-rooms/

Last month, I recorded myself reading one of the poems, a glosa, for @alllitupcanada.bsky.social and writing a bit about form and style www.youtube.com/watch?v=8uTY...

screenshot of a website that reads:

Nightnursing is in part about how some things that are said to save our lives also produce new exposure to death. The book is divided into two parts: (Ante)Recovery and (Anti)Recovery. “Ferventory of Letters” is from the first part, the presumed before, and it both thematizes and formalizes a relentless pursuit of historical, political, and familial knowledge that keeps difficult feelings at bay. It is a glosa, which is poetic form from medieval Spain that appropriates or glosses lines from another poem.  Here, I reuse the last four lines from Jamaican poet Roger Mais’s poem, “All Men Come to the Hills,” which also serves as the epigraph—the cabeza or head.
