Every Living Day (Adam Gianforcaro)

 “Adam Gianforcaro has written the book that I wish I could give a younger version of myself, a collection of deep understanding, suffering and unfathomable freedom from it. Gianforcaro interrogates trauma, the devastating things that are “so mundane until it’s married to someone you love” and frees itself inside its own verse. This is a collection that has done the hard work of understanding itself, and when these poems aren’t yearning, they are celebrating a full, chosen life, a life that begs “for what is existence if not vigor?”

—Gardner Dorton, author of Stone Fruit

“absolutely striking, full of heart, and a detailed approach to the science of the human condition—Gianforcaro’s words reflect the light of being alive, being in the here and now. the poems trumpet an iridescent queerness; sing the significance of joy; traverse the universe of the body and the body of the universe. Every Living Day is an achievement of the unlimited beauty of our every day.”
