Winner of the 2019 Fonograf Editions Open Genre Book Prize, as chosen by Rae Armantrout.

Chosen by Rae Armantrout as the winner of the 2019 Fonograf Editions Open Genre Book Prize, SYSTEMS THINKING WITH FLOWERS is a poetry collection about conspiring to do right within the constraints of inherited structures. Languell’s text critiques unearned authority in its many guises. In two sections, the book chronicles the complex emotional gymnastics required for existence in male-dominated and colonialist environments, such as professional sports, museums, and other institutions. Foreword by Rae Armantrout.
