The Kissing of Kissing: Poems

"The first entry in Milkweed’s Multiverse series of books focused on neurodivergent and disabled writers, Hannah Emerson’s debut is utterly beguiling, her poetry an indescribable combination of interior monologue and public address. “Please try/ to become the breath that gives/ helpful thoughts that are floating / towards you yes yes,” she writes with characteristic longing and confidence. Reading this beautiful book, I felt as though Emerson’s words had always been in my head."
