Overview

Uncoupling is an extraordinary book by a new and powerful voice in Texas poetry. In these poems, Margo Davis explores the nature of human relationships--romantic, familial, platonic, with wit, humor, and craft. These poems are accessible and fun, but also reflective and at times brutally honest about the inequalities that exist in our society. These are poems for both lovers of poetry and casual readers of verse.

""With the precision of a great filmmaker, Margo Davis considers the end of love and love's aftermath, the loosening of ties, the memories of longing, our inability to truly know anyone but ourselves. Always the consummate observer, Davis is at home with emotional complexity, with character, and, especially, with imagery and song. Here, astronauts ""swooned from / moonlight"" and lightning is ""brittle copper""; here, a duck gliding across a pond's smooth surface is also ""a plastic bag gulping hot air."" Precise, intelligent, wry, and moving-Uncoupling is a terrific book, one that I will return to with admiration and pleasure. Kevin Prufer, 2026 Texas Poet Laureate; The Fears (Copper Canyon Press, 2023); Sleepaway (Acre Book, 2024)
