The resulting collection of poems\, Ascend Ascend\, “document[s] the ecstatic destruction of the self through its union with the divine.” \nIn Sarah Galvin’s latest poetry collection\, Ugly Time\, the beloved Seattle poet explores “a state of permanent impermanence” with her signature hilarity and hyperreality that critic Rich Smith has called “Refreshing\, liberating and totally freakin’ weird\, [delivering] delightful shocks to the sensorium\, big belly laughs and compassionate perspectives on human desire.” \nAbout the Performers\n\n Janaka Stucky is a mystic poet\, performer\, and founding editor of the award-winning press\, Black Ocean. He is the author of The Truth Is We Are Perfect (Third Man Books\, 2015)\, Your Name Is The Only Freedom (Brave Men Press\, 2009)\, The World Will Deny It For You (Ahsahta Press\, 2012)\, and his latest book\, Ascend Ascend (Third Man Books\, 2019).
