Poems that address cultural pressures placed on women and girls. This is a book for those who were raised to be girls and expected to become women, for those who were told they were too girly and not girly enough, and for those who were ogled, talked over, touched, fed, imagined, and indoctrinated in ways they didn’t want. Angela Hume considers the persistent instructions to smile, be quiet, and act happy, all administered with the promise that this forced behavior would make everything better. The poems address rigid social norms and, ultimately, walk through the uncomfortable realizations about the bigger systems at play and call on us to examine our own complicity in them.

The Middle is beautiful and powerful-Angela Hume's line breaks are beautiful and powerful-her pages are beautiful and powerful-and all that grace animates calm outrage, ghostlier awareness ("private like a thought / for a wrist, of a thigh"), keener sounds ("try looking away try looking away try looking away try looking away try looking away try")-keener ethics, too (first / demarcate // an aesthetics of / / injury")-the body is ghost-polis is eyes but police is eyes too-and polis is police ("state of pacifi / cation state of // damage state of / destroy-all-ex // cess body state of little / to no // speech / ill / state // police / state")-we have to have political poetry-we can't be human otherwise-and what holds here is a new Objectivism-a clarity made actual in a construct of words ("(inhabit that / incision // in such a way that can't be used")-this clarity holds against and in the violence that surrounds us (Benjamin: "something rotten in law is revealed")-Angela Hume is a necessary poet.
