Drive Here and Devastate Me [Paperback]

Megan Falleys much-anticipated fourth collection of poetry shocks you with its honesty: whether through exacting wit or lush lyrical imagery.
It is clear that the author is madly in love, not only with her partner for whom she writes both idiosyncratic and sultry poems for, but in love with language, in love with queerness, in love with the therapeutic process of bankrupting the politics of shame. These poems tackle gun violence, toxic masculinity, LGBTQ* struggles, suicidality, and the oppression of womens bodies, while maintaining a vivid wildness that the tongue aches to speak aloud. Known best for breathtaking last lines and truths that will bowl you over, Drive Here and Devastate Me will relinquish you from the possibility of meeting who you could have been, and regretting who you became.Falley has turned her personal experiences into public prose, exposing her queerness and the raw chasm between self-confidence and self-doubt. Shes dissected moments in her own life thatve helped her and her listeners comprehend a womans existence on Earth. -Boulder WeeklyMegan Falleys fourth collection of poetry is a love letter to the queer community...Falley puts words to the feelings that haunt us at dusk and delight us at dawn.Autostraddle
