Still Prime by Allison Moreno is a collection of work that experiments with sound and rhythm while breaking down traditional notions of grammar and syntax. Also, each poem has borrowed from a source text, a song, found language, or some set of rules or restraints. Each poem is in conversation with the relationship between process and product. Still Prime is an exploration of identity in terms of race, class and gender, but also of personhood-- of our potential and our limitations as human beings
