I Do Know Some Things by Richard Siken
A spare, urgent collection of poems that interrogates memory, desire, and grief through sharp imagery and incantatory rhythms. The speaker moves between domestic scenes and surreal jolts, examining how language holds — and fails to hold — love, loss, and the body; wit and tenderness sit beside violent, visceral lines. Repetition and syntactic twists build emotional momentum, rendering the work both intimate and mythic as it catalogs the ways we remember, hurt, and attempt to repair.
