Publisher Marketing:In this debut collection of poetry, the obscure and mundane collide, a fricassee of movement, the cosmopolitan, and intimacy.

A Boy in the Cityuses poems as pillars to interrupt and excavate an interiority that unfolds and interrogates grim thoughts and intimacy. Yarberry weaves a sexy, glitzy journey through their city, where the speaker can pose and compose in a trans way, of course. Clever in its playful allusions to Greek myths, William Blake, and other literary figures,A Boy in the Cityis a distinct work of joy and liberation that reckons with the language of gender and desire.
