Our city is an ocean. Every night one of our neighbors drowns in a crack on the sidewalk. Every night we call it hope to climb our way to the moon--just to panic when we can't find an airplane or meteor to catch a ride home on. We spend days treading water with someone we love, hoping that a wave doesn't rise and block our view of the sun. These 30+ illustrated poems exemplify that floating feeling of being between sobriety, society, and stillness.
Austin Davis is a poet and activist from Phoenix, AZ, who lives with OCD. He is the author of the chapbook Lotus & The Apocalypse and the founder of AZ Hugs For the Houseless. "Like a Gen-Z John Donne..."- Angele Ellis, Cultural Daily "Davis holds in his hands an understanding for the diversity of emotion like it's the fragile globe of a dandelion ready for wishes."
- Caitie Young, The Poetry Question
