Overview

""No One Is Daddy"" is a book of poems about resisting power in all its guises: politicians, religious leaders, the police, bosses, landlords, the extremely wealthy, the patriarchy, nations and governments, militaries, and corporations. Despite occasional moments of panic or despair, these poems take strange comfort in the sense that no one is, in fact, in charge, relishing the prospect of an overdue uprising for those who have been treated as ""children"" far too long. From sex work to childhood abuse, "" No One Is Daddy"" explores difficult-to-stomach examples of unjust hierarchies and the specific types of labor required to survive them. As the book ultimately declares, "" no one is daddy and that's how we like it."" For these poems, control is temporary; rebellion is eternal.
