"McCullough seems to possess a sort of psychic hidden camera: a restless, obsessive eye looking deeper and deeper into occasions of disaster both personal and public. Somewhere between Edgar Lee Masters and C. P. Cavafy, these plain-spoken, character-filled poems will haunt readers with an unsettlingly familiar landscape: the swimming pools and boardwalks and shorelines of our darkest, most anxious American nights."
—Mark Doty

About the book:
Located in the nexus of mind and body, the poems in SPEECH ACTS use language as a weapon, a tool, a sex toy, a map, a love letter and argue with alternate provocation and tenderness that language is the sexiest and most intimate mode of intercourse that humans have.

Laura McCullough's poems are tough and tender at once. She loves to tell the fecund stories of the female body. She is fearless about the shame and glory of female desire. Who else can combine desire with aphids and beetle larvae? These poems have a contagious joy, “I want to sidle up to the hips of this world.” McCullough anchors us in the honesty of the flesh--and we are grateful.
