nightsong, Paperback

Written between the Pulse nightclub shooting and Obama's final day of presidency, Jones explores the underside of the industrial complexes that choke our world. The lyrics in nightsong hum a vigil for trans and queer bodies: animals of feather and fur, teeth and claws, pulling forward into another space. When the world is asleep these poems tenderly dissolve social constructions designed to erase, then sing for their liberation.
