Overview
The voice of many of the poems in this collection is May, the girl crossed out, the bad girl, the mad and drunk girl, the jailed and drugged girl. May is and is not a source of wisdom -- political, spiritual, or otherwise. Nor is she merely broken, nor merely admirable: she is swirling in language. The language convinces us that we really are deep in the core of a human consciousness, near the foul rag-and-bone shop of the heart. May is a neonomad, bringing to the world the opposite of worldliness, offering a glimpse of the invisible.
