"My Reptile"

Little frilléd lizard

with your big mouth
and your clutch of egg.
Pure urge iguana
—I wanna wanna
wanna—heavy pet
in a moist habitat.
Your dewlap licks
down my spine;
your creep yearns,
yearns your crawl,
like a small machine
that you rev and
rev and rev until
the engine floods.

Gin and bleach: two clear liquids aiming for purity, bordering the toxic. Catherine Wing''s poems are soaked in her cocktail, mixing doubt, loneliness, rough elbows, and razor focus. It riddles, aiming askew for a straight answer: how do we make our way through this world?

Industry Reviews

"Wittily rhymed and bloodily vivid, Wing's poems of romance and damage show the poet seeking something to 'overwhelm me, a love-in-the-mist sort of time.'" ?Publishers Weekly ?Catherine Wing's Gin & Bleach aims to burn us clear (as only corrosives like gin and bleach can do) to a better understanding of our place in the world." ?Barbara Hoffert, Library Journal Pre-Pub Alert
