A RUTHLESS ACCOUNT OF DEATH IN AMERICA
“Constructed from evidence extracted from a database of unsolved human remains cases, the poems in Conor Hultman’s DOE stare back and dare you to look away. Disturbing, sad, haunting, and addictive, they evoke the sickening nostalgia of shows like Unsolved Mysteries and Dateline blasting from childhood living rooms. Part archival séance, part cartography of evil, this collection is an indispensable work of art, for lovers of dark, ambitious literature and true crime fanatics alike.” -- Logan Berry, author of Doom is the House Without a Door
“Conor Hultman’s DOE is haunted by absence, an ache at its center. DOE’s power lies as much in what it omits as what it presents - the heartbreaking fragments of the body, the tattered scattered clothes, the tiny pocket trinkets of those who were unseen in both life and in death. Discarded by a culture that omits human beings without capitalist value. Hultman’s empathetic project rejects this cruel unseeing in favor of looking closer, even when it’s painful, and honoring their lives without writing in what can no longer be known.” -- Kate Durbin, author of Hoarders
