This form--a lyric prose poem beginning, midsentence, with an ampersand--accesses the intimacies of a life shaped by perpetual \"and-ing.\" These ampersands move by associative leap, synesthetic braid, and inter-species blur to revel in everything that makes us more than singular subjects. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNeuroqueering poetics, rhodes writes toward deft and loving excess: spillage, echolalia, stutter, loop, and non-linear detour, refiguring what the lyric can be and what the body can do. These poems revolt against all forms of supremacy, inviting us into unexpected kinship with animal, mineral, vegetal, and heavenly bodies, each replete with its own languages, temporalities, histories, and worlds. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTending an everyday eroticism with its \"heart at the sleeve, in the palm,\" \u003ci\u003eAmpersand Organ\u003c\/i\u003e is unafraid to feel, to feel again, to feel feeling wherever it's wildly felt.
