“Kyle Marbut's Black Swan Theory houses endless light and a gigantic material world but ‘Doom, too, is a hunger.’ And crazy things happen. A statue of a river is beheaded. Bees hive in the poet’s head. The poet doesn’t know which they want more …” —Lesle Lewis #poetrycommunity #read #book #poems

CHECK IT OUT!! We Look Better Alive by Ali Black APRIL 28, 2025 📖➡️🔗 in bio #poetry #poet #writer #poem #books #read #reading #poetrycommunity #writing community
“What really fascinates me about Ali Black’s We Look Better Alive is how it complicates our understanding of dying. There are literal deaths scattered throughout the book: funerals for a mother, for a father-in-law, reports of a grandmother’s passing, a friend’s. And yet this collection seems most concerned about the metaphorical deaths Black women experience in their quest for beauty and acceptance. From doctor’s offices, to school classrooms, and even to the social media pages of female celebrities, Black leads us through a museum of death, demonstrates how society robs Black women of life at every turn.”

PREORDER YOUR COPY TODAY!! ➡️📖🔗 in bio Black Swan Theory by Kyle Marbut May 8, 2025 Winner of the 2023 Burnside Review Press Book Award, selected by Arda Collins. #poetry #poems #poet #poetrycommunity #writingcommunity #book #smallpress #read #reading
“Black Swan Theory is a book of feral originality. In scenarios as vivid 
and odd as Ovid’s, Kyle Marbut’s prose poems offer tales of eros, 
abjection, and transformation through love. No scene is too strange 
a sensorium for this kinky and queer and visionary poet, who continually 
treads the line between apophatic vision and surrealist dream. If ecstasy 
offers a way out of oneself, and paradox offers an escape from logic, 
Marbut writes with abandon ‘Till the bright pours in, overflows, and I am 
nothing left to see.’ I’m in awe of this singular new talent.”
—Brian Teare
