Written in the body, for the body, \u003cem\u003eList of Demands\u003c\/em\u003e critically engages with the physical senses, the terror of pathological anxiety, and the changing of the seasons, in a brief chapbook that examines the way we love. “Lately I panic. The trees are all on fire. No one I know is dead” writes Acevedo in her poem, “I Have A Dream I Need To Tell You Something Important”. This chapbook is sonically tight, repeated phrases echoing throughout the twenty five odd pages. Sounds of fear, nervousness, and anxiety reverberate through these poems, as Acevedo reckons with the all-encompassing fervor of love.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAcevedo makes promises, then immediately revokes them. “And yes, someday we’ll be dead but I’m not \/ worrying about that right now. I am delusional \/ with love” she writes in “Cough It Out.” Illusion features heavily in these pages. But at the core of these poems is a deeply romantic center, a fervent belief that everything will be okay, if one only closes their eyes and wishes on a star. Magic permeates these poems, a kind of delusional magic that only those who have been in love can truly understand. This is a chapbook for those who believe in love, and those who would put it all on the line for just the chance of a happy ending.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eJoanna Acevedo (she\/they) is the Pushcart nominated author of the poetry collection \u003cem\u003eThe Pathophysiology of Longing\u003c\/em\u003e (Black Centipede Press, 2020) and the short story collection \u003cem\u003eUnsaid Things\u003c\/em\u003e (Flexible Press, 2021).
