Invisible Wasp

In Invisible Wasp, Stephanie Powell explores the business of observing and responding to the range of life’s experiences, from anxious struggle to deep connection. Through cycles of desire and disappointment and introspection, these exciting and insightful poems build to the promise of something new.

Reading Invisible Wasp is like spending time with your cool friend who helps you navigate life’s strangeness. Powell creates a slippery intimacy, a kind of everyday erotic, with extraordinary skill. Poems hover in the interstices between body and world, reminding us of what is both powerfully animal and achingly fragile about our being. I keep returning to this shimmering collection and every time I find something new.       Emilie Collyer
