WHAT YOU WANT
by Corey Qureshi
As stated in the dedication, Corey Qureshi's What You Want is for anyone who has had to figure things out without credentials. The poems are about work and being thrown into things, seeing clearly while the situation blurs, and persevering against a set of useless rules. These are poems that ask, "Where are the poets when it's time to take out 400 pounds of garbage??" Driven by catharsis and critique, fleeting relief and hopeful dream, the poems articulate subtly shifting moods and textures, speaking with a voice that is full of nerve and music.
