With an acerbic tone that will seem familiar to admirers of Franz Wright or Charles Bukowski, Zhadan’s no-nonsense verses are sure to strike more than a few nerves.”—World Literature Today

“A startling collection of verse.”—Askold Melnyczuk, Times Literary Supplement

Selected as a 2020 PEN Translation Award Semi-Finalist, sponsored by PEN America Literary Awards

Received honorable mention for the Lois Roth Award, sponsored by the Modern Language Association of America

Shortlisted for the Walcott Prize, sponsored by Arrow Press
