Inhaltsangabe

An astonishing, inventive new collection of poems from the author of Rotten Perfect Mouth.

Includes the poem “Bonedog” featured in the film I’m Thinking of Ending Things

Deeply attuned to the cadence of life, the poems in The Natural Hustle offer provocative, intimate snapshots. They explore the bewildering experience of living—precisely locating unexpected truths. Ingenious, original, surprising, here is a one-of-a-kind poetic voice.

Magic Hour, Manhattan, August

The city’s histamine blush as dusk drips.
We seek a sportsbar ’cause you think it would
be nice if I could watch the Jays; all good
I say, as—the towers flush like stung lips—

I think walking next to you is heaven.
And I say, Look at these buildings [and you
look, nod] in the witching light [rose flange you
shuffle through]. It’s as if they had been leavened:

surging tongues stained sweet nectarine, liver.
Every sportsbar is too loud. It’s okay:
I’d rather watch instead the dying day;
my hometown sold me down the river,

long ago. The air we breathe in thins,
purpling.

It’s enough the home team wins.
