Description:
<p><i>Up-and-coming poet Jamie Sharpe presents a finely tuned second collection</i></p>
<p><i>Cut-up Apologetic</i>, Sharpe’s second collection, explores aging in a world where youth is terrible and something we desperately want back. These are poems about failing to leave our mark while marks are left on us — about the collective insatiability of emptying surroundings in an attempt to fill ourselves.</p>
<p>At the same time, is naïve and playful even when examining fear expressed as discrimination or the ways restlessness transitions into an inertia spelling cultural death. Sharpe finds strange new horizons “extend(ing)/only backward, into memory.”</p>
