Description
“Katie Proctor’s A Desire for Disaster is a collection of unabashed poems that humanize (self) destruction, looking into the face of its execution and aftermath. Revelry for disaster is woven into codependency, devotion, and compulsion as metaphor keeps the reader feeling romanced. The flow of the collection keeps the theme in hand at all times, with enough surfacing into optimism to prove that our poet is “not a lost cause just yet.” This is a collection to read on the brink of action, when the potential energy you’ve stored holding yourself back from disaster invites you to pace around your kitchen. Proctor’s words resonate, they justify the emotions they elicit. You’ll find something of yourself in this collection, as our poet has found something in you.”
