Meant to Wake Up Feeling

Editorial Review"Aimee Herman's latest volume of poetry, meant to wake up feeling, could be described as poetic counter-terrorism. Rather than mounting a series of covert actions, however, these poems intimately resist the terrorism of the powerful (or the righteously normative) against the embodied other. The book lives up to its title and its mission, as both model and process of resistance....The work done in this book is desperately necessary. The next time someone grumbles about the uselessness of poetry, put these poems in their hands." - Jay Besemer, Rain Taxi
