Synopsis "Autowar"

2022 Gerald Lampert Memorial Award Longlist * 2022 ReLit Awards Longlist A visceral, vital, unblinking debut collection of poems exploring kinesthetic memory and longing, inherited violence, and the body as a geographical site. We're often told that we are given only what we can bear. For some of us our first lessons are in how much pain we're made to think we deserve - and the resulting scars are always meant to be kept secret. Assiyah Jamilla Touré's debut collection is a record of those scars - not those inflicted on us by the thousands of little wars we live in everyday, but those that come afterwards, those we inflict upon ourselves to mark the path. Each and every poem in Autowar was written on a cell phone, transcribing an urgent revisiting of old sites of pain, and also a revisiting of one young person's power and ability - to hurt themself, or others. These poems are powerful evocations of how even our scars have worlds and lives. here in the dark, me-spacei am insatiable for my fleshi just can't get enoughof tiny after-woundsthat's me giving, still too softfor my own teeth
