Pet Sounds
Pet Sounds is a long lyric poem about and against ownership, especially the sticky interface of property, sex, and family (or as one of the poems describes: “what passed for a series of choices in my lifetime.”) It’s a book about passing and everything that gets subsumed by narrow definitions of romantic love and kinship. But also class passing, non-human companions, urban development, and the literary tradition. Who gets to sing, in what tradition, about what subjects? Pet Sounds is finally a poem deeply concerned with economics, or its root, oikos, the house.
