Boyfriend Mountain

By Kelly Schirmann and Tyler Brewington

Poetry. BOYFRIEND MOUNTAIN is the second collaboration between Kelly Schirmann and Tyler Brewington after their chapbook, Nature Machine (Poor Claudia, 2014). "Reading Tyler Brewington & Kelly Schirmann's split-book BOYFRIEND MOUNTAIN is like the best sleepover ever, that late-night freakout time when the real gets giddy & Truth-or-Dare demands only truth, more truth & forever truth. The two individually written halves of the book use the same title, BOYFRIEND MOUNTAIN, & as Brewington collects moments of attention & knotting & scattering into a disjunctive & projective wisdom, Schirmann deals & redeals the cards of her experiences, not to compete but to show how each hand can be tragic & beautiful. Both poets work in a confessionalism that owes as much to Adrienne Rich & O'Hara as it does to Catullus & entwined within one spine these two demonstrate the permeability of our experiences & relationships, how we climb & fall off these cliffs of love & fear & bodies & joy."
