dc.description.abstractMiserably, Uselessly is a collection of poems that inhabit the lyric consciousness of a twenty-something millennial living in the anthropocene. Characterized by conversational diction, dark humor, a resistance to neat endings, and a minimalist style reliant on images as well as associative leaps, these poems explore complexities of identity and selfhood, particularly at the intersections of sisterhood, growing up, romantic love, femininity, and the body. Beginning with an introductory “proem” and subsequently taking the reader through four mosaic-like sections that loosely correlate with the natural progression of seasons, this collection grapples with the messiness, boredom, and desperation of human life, ultimately attempting to reconcile the mundane of the everyday with the desire for something more extravagant or holy.
