Advance Praise

Praise for Plenitude:

“Weaving the political, the frisky, the personal, and the furious, there are few poets who write with as much ecstatic ferocity as Karasik does here in Plenitude. May the world this book dreams be one day manifested.” —John Elizabeth Stintzi, author of My Volcano

“Karasik’s Plenitude is indeed a plenitude—of beauty, pleasure, joy, rebellion. Plenitude really and truly is an abundant work, abundant with all sorts of urgent and radical political demands, stories, questions, and visions. Karasik’s poems grapple, with immense care and attentiveness, with our difficult present, addressing labour politics, the police, the law, imperialism, fascism, gender—all the while imagining (and nourishing!) other possible futures, other possible arrangements for living and loving. I want to be in that possible place that Karasik so generously conjures in these poems.” —Bahar Orang, author of Where Things Touch: A Meditation on Beauty

“Daniel Sarah Karasik’s Plenitude is ‘trans-socialist’ as in (among other things) having ‘communism that would abolish debates over when and how to say ‘communism’’ as its horizon. At turns motivating, thought-provoking, touching and hilarious, this collection compresses volumes of theory and collective experience into shockingly short poems grounded in a world where ‘freedom / [is] a spilling over / from one bright, / unbearable / impossibility / into the next’ and there’s a ‘we’ struggling toward it. Karasik is the kind of writer that wants everything; this is the kind of book you read and give to comrades.” —Wendy Trevino, author of Cruel Fiction
