Company

About this book

The poems of Company navigate misperception, memory, and threat while engaging with an electrifying sense of possibility: "What I want is you to see what is backlit, behind me. Not the silhouette-- but the negative space I make blocking light." Ross's book is sensual, political, ghostly, and frank; what a close friend or beguiling stranger might whisper in your ear in the corner of a crowded party to make you say, "Tell me more."
