Dorianne Laux calls this Poulin Prize-winning debut collection "one of the best first books I've read in a while... spell-binding."
This debut collection by Cave Canem fellow Geffrey Davis burrows under the surface of gender, addiction, recovery, clumsy love, bitterness, and faith. The tones explored—tender, comic, wry, tragic—interrogate male subjectivity and privilege, as they examine their "embarrassed desires" for familial connection, sexual love, compassion, and repair. Revising the Storm also speaks to the sons and daughters affected by the drug/crack epidemic of the ''80s and addresses issues of masculinity and its importance in family.
Some nights I hear my father''s long romance
with drugs echoed in the skeletal choir
of crickets.
