GOODBYE WOLF is a collection of poems alternating between the author’s subversion of the horoscope and its tropes and his epistles to chronic illness, dear wolf or lupus. The poems explore the everydayness of disease and the absurdity of asking for answers from the stars — and of course waiting for their replies. Someone once said the longer you wait for the bus, the sooner it’ll arrive.
