Don’t Tell My Mother If They Kill Me

Don’t Tell My Mother If They Kill Me is a rebellious declaration of anti-fascist survival poetics. Part manifesto, part prayer/spell book, these dynamic, playful, provocative, and unapologetic poems pull no punches, attempting to offer reservoirs of energetic nourishment to arm oneself with joy, creativity, and connection. Providing a proletariat lens to contemporary poetry, these are working class poems—smoke break poems, poems to keep it pushing, poems to press onward against the woes and throes of empire and its many henchmen.
