Through experimentation and muscular lyricism, Bertram maintains a style that observes a speaker's attempt to understand and exert multiple identities within the binary confines of race and gender. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003ePlaying and gliding from acrostics to sonnets to maps, these compassionate, cerebral, and irreverent poems plainly recognize the larger and potentially escapable oppressive systems that dominate all of our lives by narrating the exhaustion that comes from living under constraining systems of relentless extraction, systems whose powers fracture all attempts at genuine love and intimacy.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLillian-Yvonne Bertram\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of several books. \u003ci\u003eTravesty Generator\u003c\/i\u003e was a National Book Award longlist, and winner of the 2018 Noemi Press Poetry Prize.
