In these poems, who gets named and who does the naming and defining is questioned, put under a microscope, and rearranged. True crime, commodified violence, and destruction of the natural world do not exist neutrally in these pages; rather, the speaker, the reader, and all participants are implicated, and asked to consider their own positionality. \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThis collection engages in a spectrum of forms, from a traditional sonnet crown to more hybrid visual and prose poetry. These poems weave together in conversation with pop culture, history, and myth in order to trouble gendered narratives of surveillance, embodied experience, and queerness. From the history of vultures in myth to true crime podcasts to the plight of Sarah Connor’s roommate in \u003cem\u003eThe Terminator\u003c\/em\u003e, these poems zoom in and ask the reader to consider and reconsider their assumptions and landscapes they might have once found familiar. \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eRebecca Martin (she\/they) is a poet, educator, and roller skater.
