*2025 NATIONAL BOOK AWARD Finalist*The New Economy memorializes the worlds pleasures and perils told through the point of view of an aging, ungendered body.A devotional to the ungendered vessel as it ages, dreams, and survives. A practice of radical collaboration, failure, and renewal. A world of Miss You poems opening a portal to all those weve lost and would love to visit for a while. In Gabrielle Calvocoressis latest collection, The New Economy, poems are haunted by the ghosts of loved ones and childhood memories, by changing landscapes and bodies. Calvocoressis own figure is examinedinvestigating the desire to protect the body one is born with and the longing to have been born in another. Cisterns sing with the musicality of a poet who understands both the power of sound and silencethose quiet spaces inviting us to consider the words we cannot hear. The days I dont kill myself are extraordinary one poems says. Why dont we have a name for it? Lyrical and unafraid, The New Economy invites us to name our fears and sorrows, to write to who or what has left us, to create practices that can hold both the darkness and light of this (in)finite life.
