Junk

"Ever wanted to read a book-length breakup poem? A few lines into Junk, your answer will be a resounding, “Yes!” Whiting Award-winner Tommy Pico follows his cult favorites Nature Poem and IRL with a gloriously wide-ranging monologue on love and friendship, queer and indigenous identity, Janet Jackson and nacho cheese. Pico builds his own 21st-century poetics, junk and all — and as he writes, “It’s important / to value the Junk, Junk has the best stories.”"
