From poems about finding autonomy as a queer, unpartnered parent by choice in the South to those chronicling a generation's economic instability, Hoover rejects so-called \" acceptable losses\" stemming from inequalities of gender, race, and class. The book asks, what happens to the woman no longer willing to live a lie? How does language invent not only identity, but possibility? \u003cbr\u003e \" Erin Hoover's second collection, \u003ci\u003eNo Spare People\u003c\/i\u003e, recalls to me the sobering effect of encountering Adrienne Rich's work in the late ' 80s. These poems deal in reality, eschewing the fantastic ... This is a deeply intellectual and expertly wrought collection.\" -- Cate Marvin \u003cbr\u003e \" These are hard poems in that they press far past the facile reductive binaries of good and evil, savior and saved, and into something-- a lyric, a voice-- that feels a little more complicated, a little more like our own world.\" -- Kaveh Akbar\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eErin Hoover is the author of a previous poetry collection, BARNBURNER, which won Elixir Press's Antivenom Poetry Award and a Florida Book Award.
