Smoot's \u003ci\u003eSOULMATE AS A VERB\u003c\/i\u003e. Bodies make love possible, they enable tender connection and transmit electric joy, all while leaving one vulnerable to discord and abuse, heartbreak and grief. Like a body, Smoot's daring poetry metabolizes cruelty, seeking the tender knowledge and kinships that allow for buoyant survival. The subjectivity of a Black, trans self becomes a prism, shining a variegated intellect on everything from suburbia to Palestine, top surgery to police violence. By utilizing forms such as kwansaba, calligram, Craigslist personals, and golden shovels, \u003ci\u003eSOULMATE AS A VERB\u003c\/i\u003e revels in structures that locate poet and poem in a lineage of innovative and contemporary Black, queer verse.
