Packing Por^n

Packing Por^n (2019) revels in performative "packing," the pants-stuffing genderqueer practice. These poems derive from a 1912 guidebook, Packing and Portaging, on overland travel in order to re-imagine mobility, masculinity, and authority.

THE FIT

ORDINARILY the verb to pack  means             a man 

​Likewise, 
only the veriest     
deliberately endures hardships 
where hardships 
of the methods of outfits 
for the tenderfoot     
give no direct bearing 
​upon the question of packing.
