YesYes Books, paperback Publication Date: May 21, 2024 Publisher Marketing: Part cautionary tale, part love letter to the broken objects and people of this world, Inconsolable Obje cts is driven by the search for beauty in the forsaken. The poems are populated with sentient tornados, fetal mice floating in a snow globe, soldiers marching past a disembodied heart, and birds that have learned to imitate the sound of an AK47. In her spectacular debut, Gomez offers a call and response to all of us stumbling towards connection. These poems witness, interrogate, mourn, praise, and provide a hopeful glimpse into the mysteries of our shared experience. Show more
