Publisher Marketing: Wet Dream is an expansive, erotic, and enlivening book of ecological thinking.

Wet Dream vibrates with pleasures, fears, and medicines for living on a wet planet on fire. Erin Robinsong’s poems are enmeshed ecologies of body and planet, brain and ocean, moisture and consciousness. From the sleep paralysis of necrocapitalism erupt moth-angels, bird teachers, feral study, Venusian warnings, an extremophile lover, and a dying cat to lead us through the underworlds of ecocide. This book is a meditation on nearness, metabolizing toxic logics through the air, water, and relational space.

Brilliant, embodied, and gorgeously disorienting, Wet Dream is a pulse of agency to the heart.

Wet Dream is brain lube for an insurgent language-creaturely poems that remake your body and relation to the world. I want to smear them all over. – Astrida Neimanis, author of Bodies of Water: Posthuman Feminist Phenomenology
