    About this ebook

    Part philosophy thesis and part psychosexual Ancient Greek fever dream, Dani Yourukova' s Transposium adapts Plato into poetry, featuring queer longing, a choose-your-own-adventure apocalypse, Les Misé rables slash fiction and love poems about dead philosophers.Shameless, witty and hot with curiosity, these poems are preoccupied with the refashioning of gender, logic, language and form. Through relentless cross-examination of Socrates and associates,Yourukova combines reckless affection for the past, and a shimmering spectrum of anxieties around an uncertain future.Alternately intellectual and irreverent, this collection is a playful take on the concept of the dialectic, weaving across text and time and the aching yawn of distance between us.

      What Form Can Hold

      Jan 1, 2024

      If poetry is, at least in part, a quest for form, then form is a poem’s architecture. The words of a poem may be its raw materials—the wood, the stone, the glass—but form is the magic that makes it possible to enter inside those word shelters, to fin
