"Framed as a job application, and bounding with associative leaps and surrealist underpinnings, Dear Selection Committee is a subversive, sexy love song to an endlessly messy self and the burning world it inhabits. Full of apostrophic power, these poems shift among registers of loss, desire, and joy as they wrestle with issues such as climate change, addiction, modern distractions, gender presentation, religious questioning, and the nature of pain. Dear Selection Committee attests that although life can feel like a bumpy cab ride to interview for a job you feel uniquely unqualified for, if you lay aside the anxieties of self just long enough to peer out the window, you'll see great beauty amidst the chaos"-- Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |

The topics ranged from experience, love, and purpose. And many of the poems are written in stream of consciousness, which is probably one of my favorite poetry methods when it comes to any free verse poetry. There is some LGBTQ in here, but it's not exclusively LGBTQ so I won't mark it as such, though many of the love poems are directed at a man or no specified gender, she does say she falls in love with a woman and a non-binary.
My favorite poems outside of the hard hitter 'Dear Selection Committee', are probably 'In the House, I Built Another House', 'The Pain Is So Resplendent It Has Babies', and 'When My Lover Says Hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia'.
Honestly, probably going to write Melissa a letter or email or something, I loved this that much.
