Sweatshirt

Divided into 'Tired Eyes', 'Other Worlds Than These', and 'Love, or Something Like It', Sweatshirt is a book of narrative poems that blur the line between the mundane and the surreal. Observational, conversational, and rooted in domesticity, it somehow tilts the world with a half-degree of strangeness. Jordan Stewart is attentive to the absurdities of daily life, helping us see the cosmic hiding inside the stupid, the tender inside the comedic. Sweatshirt is a collection about love, parenthood, aging, and wanting, told in a voice that is self-deprecating but sincere.
