It sometimes tries to negotiate its way out. It laments, celebrates, reasons, jokes, and occasionally begs. It runs into a wall and hugs it, offers it pizza, and speeds through grammars and cities until dizziness catapults it from the grid. It tries to queer the echoes of its language in the hope that a rhyme might break the logic of \"either\/or\" and give rise to \"both\/and.\" \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eBoth, Apollo\u003c\/i\u003e is a love poem to whatever has the grace to appear, quietly finding hope. Moments of humor and tenderness accompany the speaker with each act of crossing and circling back. The poems in \u003ci\u003eBoth, Apollo\u003c\/i\u003e are constantly in flux, and Wilson's lyricism acts as a teaching tool for using both the real and the imagination to guide us in moment-by-moment navigation of our world. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eBoth, Apollo\u003c\/i\u003e won the Omnidawn Chapbook contest, selected by Victoria Chang. \u003cbr\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMary Wilson\u003c\/b\u003e is currently completing a PhD in English at the University of California, Berkeley.
