MissSettl

This genre-defying debut poetry collection bursts with energy, wit, and a sharp eye for the intersections of race, queerness, and American absurdity. Kamden Ishmael Hilliard’s poems ricochet between pop culture and politics, language and longing, refusing easy answers while demanding attention. With a voice that is both playful and searing, MissSettl is a bold meditation on survival and spectacle.

~ Included for its vibrant exploration of queer identity and cultural critique through experimental form. A fiercely original voice pushing the boundaries of contemporary poetry. ~
