Born in Paraguay and adopted to the United States, Guay navigates complex experiences of gender, commodification, and otherness through fish that order at gas station diners, toads that do magic tricks, and dinosaur skeletons that glow. Drawing together playfully ekphrastic prose poems and lyric investigations of violence, this collection wanders the exhibit halls of U.S. empire and emerges with a portrait of what it means to keep living in the face of extinction.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLOREN MARIA GUAY\u003c\/b\u003e is a poet and speculative fiction writer.
