Winner of Button Poetrys 2023 Chapbook Contest, Josh TvrdysSmut Psalmis a queer coming-of-age, equally drenched in religious guilt and eroticism.

Smut Psalms poems reckon with self-discovery and sexual curiosityinterspersed with Church Board Interrogation interludes, which act as a dialogue between a homophobic church voice and a witty, increasingly defiant poetic speaker. Altogether, Tvrdy crafts an intimate, surreal spectacle.Smut Psalmshapes the raw messiness of queer adolescence into its own kind of holiness. Charming and intoxicating, TvrdysSmut Psalmis a strange, sinewy experience that cant be missed.
