Call Me Yes

$21.00

By Sarah Browning

These poems yank desire from the staid lines of rhyme and form, instead enacting pleasure and pain with a rare immediacy. Browning gives us the indispensable authentic voice in a book that’s not afraid to be broken, hungry, and wildly ravenous. In “Tongued,” the tongue writes its own / constitution right here in our beds. This is a rousing book in which the clitoris speaks, and it says Yes, yes, oh yes! And you will too, dear reader, as you breathe in these stirring, dazzling poems.—Jan Beatty, author of Dragstripping

PLEASE NOTE: Books will not ship until October!

Praise for Call Me Yes

In work that reads equally as a love letter to both Washington, D.C., and Philadelphia and that simultaneously chronicles the jagged heartbreak of divorce and the surprise of new love, Sarah Browning’s Call Me Yes covers life’s ever-changing landscape with poems that sing to the body and make a boldface call to pleasure.—Teri Ellen Cross Davis, author of a more perfect Union
