Clean

About the Book

This collection of poems and stories examines the existential angst of individuals who are confronted with the impure, the contingent, the Other.

It incorporates elements of myth, mass culture, and race to interrogate notions of purity inherent in the formation of self. By turns dark, philosophical, and poignant, Clean reveals its complicity with the dirt with which it is forced to reckon.
