These poemsequal parts dark humor, lyrical rage, and tender witnesspull back the curtain on emergency work in a collapsing system:</p><ul><li><strong>EMT Diaries</strong>: Bleach-stained uniforms, last drives with the dying, and the surreal poetry of gas station snacks eaten between calls.</li><li><strong>Pandemic Ghosts</strong>: Overflow tents, "contaminated" birthdays, and the dread of bringing the virus home to a husbands open arms.</li><li><strong>Queer Resilience</strong>: Survival as rebellion, from lockdown isolation to the quiet euphoria of a makeout offer tucked into the copyright page.</li></ul><p>Stantons writing thrums with the rhythm of sirens and sleeplessness. In <em>First Call</em>, a young mans vomit becomes "futile spray and splay of last hours." In <em>The Freedom to Think Youre About to Die All Day Every Day</em>, paranoia crescendos into a breathless mantra: <em>"I was free I was free I was free."</em> Yet amid the chaos, glimmers of hope persista goddaughters scar, a strangers hand clasped in an ambulance, the defiant act of "making little lists" in a world unraveling.</p><p><strong>Perfect for readers who:</strong></p><ul><li>Crave pandemic art thats gritty, not sentimental</li><li>Adore Zack Grahams <em>Crisis Actor</em> or Franny Chois <em>Soft Science</em></li><li>Work(ed) in healthcare/EMS and need catharsis</li><li>Seek LGBTQ voices redefining "survival poetry"</li></ul><p><strong>Praise for Courtneys work:</strong></p><ul><li>"A tour de force of emergency and intimacy."

You may remember the g l o b a l p a n d e m i c and also want to think about it in the form of free verse poetry written by a very tired EMT in the Pacific Northwest.</p><p>These poems were composed to capture life as it turned a particular series of corners. None of them are formally structured in any particular way because I dont have an MFA and lack discipline, although I make up for it at the gym. Some of them were written in twenty minutes and have been edited little; for others, it seemed as if I would never be done writing.</p><p>All of them I present here to you, grateful for your attention.</p>...9798223319207_Courtney Stantonlibro_electonico_9798223319207_9798223319207Courtney StantonInglésMéxicohttps://getbook.kobo.com/koboid-prod-public/draft2digital_ipp-epub-7e76689c-53b9-4e48-88fb-6565ce6b90fb.epub2023-12-18T00:00:00+00:00Courtney Stanton
