‘Mc Sweeney is one of our most dynamic poets’ Nick Ropatrazone, The Millions’I’ve never read anything by Joyelle Mc Sweeney that wasn’t totally exciting’ Dennis Cooper One of Lit Hub’s Most Anticipated Books for 2024In this follow-up to her award-winning collection, Toxicon and Arachne, Joyelle Mc Sweeney proposes a link between style and survival, even in the gravest of circumstances. Setting herself the task of writing a poem a day and accepting a single icon as her starting point, however unlikely – River Phoenix, Mary Magdalene, a backyard skunk – Mc Sweeney follows each inspiration to the point of exhaustion and makes it through each difficult day. In frank, mesmeric lyrics, Death Styles navigates the opposing forces of survival and grief, finding a way to press against death’s interface, to step the wrong way out of the grave.
