The poems use recollection to reflect and re-examine interpersonal relationships and community systems, and their entanglement with inherited beliefs and rituals. While embracing intimate moments, Baskin mediates empathy and care alongside critique. These poems negotiate cultural knowledge, personal experience, and social calling, centering the speaker's agency in the body. In this way, home, too, is reframed from a definitive, static geography, to a movable, flexible, and shifting presence. To quote the poet himself, \"I get to decide where this poem goes \/ how it moves, what it makes.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 48\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.12 x 8.5 x 6.14 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e March 15, 2025\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52730699841843,"sku":"9798992506402","price":21.02,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/F_5XKWkUAn9798992506402_8b88f1cf-ed2c-40c4-a955-d6a82bc9f7ad.webp?v=1763841368","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/en-ca\/products\/i-wake-up-tangled-in-pillows-and-sheets-paperback-1","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
