This debut collection from Tyler Hamilton is a poetic affair which takes place wherever you take it.

Moving between tenderness and uncertainty, desire and transformation, Trust a Poet To… invites the reader into a world where feeling is never simple, identity is never fixed, and even the most ordinary moments can become strange, charged, and luminous.

These poems linger in the spaces between people, between bodies, between memory and imagination. They ask what it means to be known, to be held, to be changed by love, and to keep becoming yourself in a world that rarely offers easy answers.

If you’re into (debatably) romantic poetry, then hold this book in all its cracks, bends, folds, in no attempt to repair it.

“Hamilton’s poetic voice is an extraordinary balance of confident and diffident, heartsore and heart-soaring.”

Will Tosh
Author of Straight Acting

“A prolonged and vulnerable examination of love, identity and want with lean and longing prose that wastes no words.”

Jon Kaneko-James
