Written over the course of two summerWritten over the course of two summers following the poet's 33rd birthday, The Island is a Miltonesque hyperpop haiku of:s following the poet's 33rd birthday, The Island is ssa Miltonesque hyperpop haiku of:
Longing for an irretrievable beach paradise ¿
Yearning for an abandoned tower to hide in ¿
(Failing to) deal with aging by building a
hot transcendent yoga body ¿
Loving convenience in spite of yourself ¿
A manifesto against self-optimization ¿
A blasé satanic cosmogony ?
An elegy for desire ¿
A meditation on death ?
A bisexual epic ¿
An unrelenting affirmation that "this world is all there is" ¿
"¿Cold brew, yoga, spritzes, consumer culture, the internet, queerness. So funny and real and sparkly."
- Chloé Caldwell, author of WOMEN
