Come Correct interrogates the origins and edges of writing and the writer. Writing becomes marks, scratchings, imitation, physical sensation, infection- and is continuously propelled. “I cancelled/class to write this poem I a little bit counted chickens.” This is at once coming from a transgressive linguist, writing poetry alive with diverse ‘englyssh’ which flows through deeply thought quotidian moments.
