The Occupation
"These are brave and hard-won poems, full of poignant witness and startling affirmation in the face of life's most heartbreaking challenges. Jay McCoy is a keen craftsman, constructing lyrics that whisper and sting and celebrate at once. Here is a poet who truly understands the full expressive potential of his forms, and who mines those forms to maximum effect. But be warned: this is not the typical bland stuff of mild-mannered chapbooks. McCoy's delicately crafted but harrowing poems will make your hair stand on end."—Young Smith
