Synopsis
Poetry. Though I disprove it with all the days of my life, / who am I to deny / this blade of a faith, / surfacing--Chloe Garcia Roberts writes in the title poem of her debut collection, THE REVEAL. In the psalmic tradition of singing despair to approach beauty that grace / --that fire infolding-- the poet articulates a gospel of plurality, a strategy of shattering against the face of this tightest loss, this slightest truth and builds a poetic ark to contain and catalog this visceral, stark and elegiac swarm of selves.
