One of Lit Hub's 100 Notable Small Press Books of 2025!

A lyrical reckoning with a dualism that has been accepted, rejected, embedded in an endless cycle of self-critique, until the boarder between its apparent halves became chipped, scuffed, no longer fitting together, then scoured, submerged in a watery subconscience, faded, and a gradient was formed by the fractal nature of its bonding, making something mercurial, or is that liberty?

"Fluidity and magical tangibility of wild mind has wonderful hold of the magnitude of poetry’s ability and original impulse to startle and command. Rachelle Rahmé’s imagination and drive in language, its moves and permutations is extraordinary. Sublime. Necessary to feel, hear, breathe this vital collection. Mercurial indeed, as it returns again, again. To startle and please and awaken the intellectus for lovers of poetry. Her passion kicks it, more than ever. Now, and now, the Eternal return."
Rachelle Rahmé is a Lebanese-American writer and scholar interested in collaborative liberation methodologies. Rahmé is the author of the chapbooks Count Thereof Upon the Other’s Limbs (72 Press, 2019), Puce Commodity (earthbound, 2020), Bataille’s Eggs (blush, 2021), At Crepuscule Remember Aqueducts (Wonder, 2023), Protest and Orison (Belladonna* Collaborative, 2023), and Hieroglyphics Then and Now (Spiral Editions, 2023). Her translations of the philosopher Georges Bataille's occupation poetry were published by o•blēk in 2021 as 27 Poems on Death. Superveillance, her speculative fiction novella, was published in an artist’s edition by Aventures Ltd in 2019.
