Sinopsis

I am doing everything wrong. From this first line of the first poem in Sit Wild, Mo Fowler?s words rush headlong at the frustrations of modern life, her persona searches for meaning in the gulf between self-doubt and confidence. These are poems of the gig economy, told by a character who?s fighting to put it all together. Even as the speaker bemoans a litany of overbearing male customers in the hardware store where she works, she?s trying so hard, trying to be 'better': Don?t they know / I am trying to write a poem about how I / am so strong. Fowler?s poems critique a world we don?t want to live in but probably already inhabit. I am taken by the urgency and the energy of Sit Wild. This is a remarkable first collection.-Bob Stanley, Poet Laureate of Sacramento, 2009-2012Sit Wild is a testament to having a dream, trying to chase it, and keeping yourself alive in the meantime.-Andrea Busch
