In this remarkable debut, which marks the beginning of Multiverse—a literary series written and curated by the neurodivergent—Hannah Emerson’s poems keep, dream, bring, please, grownd, sing, kiss, and listen. They move with and within the beautiful nothing (“of buzzing light”) from which, as she elaborates, everything jumps.In language that is both bracingly new and embracingly intimate, Emerson invites us to “dive down to the beautiful muck that helps you get that the world was made from the garbage at the bottom of the universe that was boiling over with joy that wanted to become you you you yes yes yes.” These poems are encounters—animal, vegetal, elemental—that form the markings of an irresistible future. And The Kissing of Kissing makes joyously clear how this future, which can sometimes seem light-years away, is actually as close, as near, as each immersive now. It finds breath in the woods and the words and the worlds we share, together “becoming burst becoming / the waking dream.”With this book, Emerson, a nonspeaking autistic poet, generously invites you, the reader, to meet yourself anew, again, “to bring your beautiful nothing” into the light.

Following the collection that launched Milkweed’s acclaimed Multiverse series, Hannah Emerson’s Reality Reality Reality is a wholly original, electrifying work.In Hannah Emerson’s incomparable second collection, reality is material. Reality can be creased, dreamed, freed, and reeled; it can be greeted, billowed, treed, and tilled. This is a book of devotions: to freedom, to interconnection, and to words themselves. The poet wakes each word, one at a time, until they are collectively teeming with song, making evident that we cannot exhaust the magic of words—we can only deepen it, allowing reality to reveal all its bright and beaming layers. Yearning, heralding, reaching, and becoming, Emerson’s poetry inhabits the body, grounded in the feet and enlivened by breath, and familiar sounds transform into both everything and nothing. Concentrated and controlled, Reality Reality Reality moves like a river, like one cascading, incantatory prayer, and the meditative repetition of this carefully assembled lexicon offers a new way of experiencing words on their own and in relation to each other. She opens words into portals we can look through, words that “become universe yes yes yes.”
