[sarah] Cavar, bug butter

Conjuring an ecosystem of Madness, music, memory, bugbutter explores bodies on the edge. In these hybrid poems, the human and the more-than-human mingle in sites of trauma and hope, with fantastical characters from Moomin to Catdog guiding the way. With bugbutter, Cali-based Cavar writes a modern myth of transMad childhood, and pulls poetry from its thickest hurts and tenderest absences. AND ALSO bugbutter features an 8-track playlist curated by the author. How cute is THAT?!

Printed in a limited run of fifty copies at Product Photo in Toronto, this chapbook has a cover illustrated and designed by Jamie Crews. Typeset by Dani Spinosa.

Sample Poem:

My stomach

begs my pardon
has big eyes
a little red mouth my
pardon spits into the tender
eye at the navel of my stomach
asks my pardon what is it that which constitutes con
-cave?
