Volcano : Unsolicited Press : 9781950730148 : 195073014X : 03 Sep 2019 : The poems in Volcano work together to tell a story. For his whole life, F's unnamed lover has had a volcano growing inside him, fueled by experiences such as interactions with an abusive father and repressed queerness. As his relationship with F sours, the volcano continues to grow and eventually manifests as a physical reality. Fearing the consequences of the now-real volcano, he sacrifices F to it, believing he has solved both problems at once. However, F returns in ghost form and takes control of the volcano. Assisted by an army of shape-shifting spirits, she pursues the man around their island home until, eventually, he must face her.

Set simultaneously in ancient Greece, contemporary Hawai'i, and the British isles at all p
