Red Lemons is a moving debut collection about drug addiction and loss told through both a narrative and surreal lens, swaying from logic to absurdity, grimness to beauty. In these poems there is a "war with self" tethered to both the narrative and lyric, often playing with scope and leaps that fall between the threshold of order and chaos--a style of gentle reserve and wild transparency--Red Lemons is poised with brutal imagination, where nightmares "wait beyond the night / in a pitch we cannot hear, / like a still pond and all its eaten."
