Love, queerness, and the work of challenging shame

Megan Falley’s poetry collection places intimate love poems alongside engagement with public and political concerns. Its subject matter includes queerness, gun violence, toxic masculinity, LGBTQ+ struggles, and the oppression of women’s bodies, with language and the dismantling of shame also named as central concerns. That combination gives the collection a scope that moves between personal relationships and broader questions of power and identity. The supplied description also points to poems addressed to Falley’s partner, set within a wider exploration of love and self-expression.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Readers interested in contemporary poetry about love, queerness, and identity.
  • Those seeking poetry that engages with gender, shame, and social issues.
  • Readers interested in collections that bring intimate relationships together with political concerns.

Book overview

Drive Here and Devastate Me is a powerful and honest exploration of love, queerness, and the triumph over shame. Falley's words shock you with their raw honesty, whether delivered with sharp wit or detailed imagery.

It is evident that the author is not only madly in love with her partner, whom she writes both idiosyncratic and sultry poems for, but also with the very essence of language and the power of dismantling shame.

These poems fearlessly tackle pressing issues like gun violence, toxic masculinity, LGBTQ* struggles, and the oppression of women's bodies. Megan Falley's much-anticipated fourth collection of poetry, confronts the complexities of life with unapologetic courage.
