Joy Is My Middle Name by Sasha Debevec-McKenney
A collection of intimate, conversational poems that follow a speaker from their twenties into their thirties, moving between cities and rural towns while examining patriotism, identity, family history, sex, race, womanhood, addiction and sobriety, consumerism, and pop culture. Personal anecdotes and observations — including a memory of a grandmother who left Virginia and settled in Connecticut — are used to explore the performed self and small, telling moments of everyday life.
