Mostly Human

by Sheila Squillante

Overview

Winner of the 2020 Wicked Woman Book Prize. Mostly Human's central character, Round Baby—plump infant, tumescent teen—rules these poems. Round Baby is the Gen-X offspring of the ERASERHEAD baby and Love's Baby Soft, herald of the darkly absurd late 20th century. These poems are as crafted as a spacecraft and brave enough to "hip-check the charming abyss."

Mostly Human offers up the cosmic, kinetic, unruly, embodied, coming of age of Round Baby. This book is scary beautiful.
