DUETDUET (VOL 15) RAHIJA, SWANBERG & KLAVER

This very special last volume features Becca Klaver alongside a duet within a duet: collaborative poems by Robin Rahija & Mikey Swanberg. It’s a fittingly unruly send-off for a project that has spent its life making room for poets to encounter one another, overlap, interrupt, echo, and occasionally make a beautiful mess together.


In Robin Rahija and Mikey Swanberg’s collaborative work, poems move through sickle suns, lake water, grief, horoscopes, breast tissue, emergency-room bathrooms, peppercorn seeds, and the small, secret histories we leave behind in the actions of our lives. Their poems borrow and remix themselves, circling back through lines until meaning starts to feel less like a destination and more like something you discover by returning to it. Elsewhere, bees, beasts, lovers, thieves, grebes, and egrets arrive to eat their way through your tea, toast, butter, cheese, griefs, and regrets. Consider it a reminder that even the smallest domestic scene can contain an entire world, and that sometimes the most important thing growing is the thing nobody notices.

Becca Klaver’s poems bring us a different kind of intimacy: two people talking their way through parties, cocktails, spoon technique, cemeteries, seasonal sadness, eclipses, envy, jealousy, clouds, and the many indignities and delights of living alongside another person. These conversations are funny, tender, occasionally exasperated, and wonderfully alive to the ways love can sound like a philosophical disagreement, an unsolicited observation, or an argument about whether to get a donkey.
