Dreams From the Grass Stage

These poems are small, but their desire can be stretched over vast green spaces. In Dreams from the Grass Stage, the expression of femininity is hyperbolic or not at all. Coming in and out of dreams, fantasy, and the corporeal, the lines are blurred between them. Through this book, meaning runs freely like a shadow in the dark. The reader is invited into a liminal meadow where “dreams don’t come true / they are true”. Infatuated with night, darkness, and pop music, this book may be enjoyed by readers of Alejandra Pizarnik, and listeners of Caroline Polachek.

Harris Wheeler is a poet who lives in Cincinnati. They host the Domestic Water Reading Series held at Conveyor Belt Books in Covington, KY. Their poems have been featured in Wonder, Dirt Child, Solid State, and elsewhere. Dreams from the Grass Stage is their first chapbook.
