P.E.A.C.E.

From the rubble of Uber Eats, Beyond Meat, and collapsing cities, Chariot Wishs debut P.E.A.C.E. incants a radiant, visionary, and irreverent poetics of queer devotion. A lapidary for the end of one world, Wishs ecstatic, embodied poems are pierced with holes, drenched in fluids, and alive with longingfor sex, for love, for a new world order. Channeling interlocutors like Simone Weil, Pier Paolo Pasolini, and Robert Glck, Wish blends Christian mysticism with a punk lineage of queer transgression, mending an urgent through-way between sacred and profane. What emerges is a text that is worshipful in the way only prayer and erotica can be. In P.E.A.C.E. the poem becomes a site of raw contact, where language touches flesh and readers encounter a world worth desiring, even in its ruin.
