And the Monster Swallows You Whole (PB) (2023) (Large Print)

Adrian S. Potter's newest collection nimbly weaves poems, short prose pieces, checklists, film synopses, and diary entries into an arresting

portrait of pandemic-era life as a Black American. Honest, funny, and

hard-edged, his writings act as concentrated doses of a bracing and

necessary tonic in the face of everyday acts of ignorance and indiff er-

ence-monsters of all shapes and sizes held in check by Po er's clear

and brilliant voice.
