We are super excited for our new YYB Vinyl 45 chapbook. Emily Vizzo's Giantess is set to release on November 15, 2018 and can be pre-ordered at a 20% discount until then. Giantess is a limited release chapbook, so order today before it sells out!
Giantess walks the bright, chaotic spaces between panic and beauty—flashing like a predatory fish among the currents of solitude, sex, disordered love, embodiment, and devotion to the natural world. These poems ask, What counts as home? and then climb into the mouths of animals—human and otherwise. They ask, When we outgrow an old skin, should we eat it? When you’re pinned beneath a wave, can you open your mouth and sing? At heart, these poems are about the long hungry swim toward the self.
