Reviews"Weaving the political, the frisky, the personal, and the furious, there are few poets who write with as much ecstatic ferocity as Karasik does here in Plenitude . May the world this book dreams be one day manifested." --John Elizabeth Stintzi, author of My Volcano, "Daniel Sarah Karasik's Plenitude is 'trans-socialist' as in (among other things) having 'communism that would abolish debates over when and how to say 'communism'' as its horizon. At turns motivating, thought-provoking, touching and hilarious, this collection compresses volumes of theory and collective experience into shockingly short poems grounded in a world where 'freedom / [is] a spilling over / from one bright, / unbearable / impossibility / into the next' and there's a 'we' struggling toward it. Karasik is the kind of writer that wants everything; this is the kind of book you read and give to comrades." --Wendy Trevino, author of Cruel Fiction

SynopsisA non-binary faun wishes their body had a variety of sex organs, interchangeable daily. A prison abolitionist scrutinizes Rothko paintings on the carceral state's boardroom walls. The insurrectionary tactics of mass social movements spread, like a secret handshake, from Chile to Hong Kong to Toronto. Shaped by Daniel Sarah Karasik's experience of grassroots social and political advocacy, these poems are an offering to those engaged in struggles for a better world--and an acknowledgement of the sometimes contradictory meanings of those struggles. How do individual erotic desires relate to collective desires for deliverance from alienation and exploitation? How might we dream of a more humane future, and work towards building it, without minimizing the challenges that stand in our way? Plenitude cartwheels towards a world that might be: a world without cops or bosses, without prisons, without oppressive regulation of gender and desire. It is a song for the excluded and forgotten and those who struggle alongside them.
