"For heart, for smarts, for a scalpel-precise vision of our America at this moment—I want Jennifer Perrine’s poems to guide me through the misogyny, xenophobia, yearning, racism, connection, and gun-fascination of our time. It’s not just their bravery, but it’s also their formal mastery, particularly in the Beautiful Outlaw, a form that guides by absence. I am so grateful to have met Jennifer’s voice, and I’m eager to see where it takes me. "
— Elizabeth Bradfield, author of Toward Antarctica and editor of Cascadia Field Guide
"Jennifer Perrine’s Beautiful Outlaw witnesses the devastating effects of violence during a time of genocide and mass incarceration and requires us to consider our own complicity. Through its fierce energy and movement, we are urged to gather in community towards a transformed world. This is the book I need to see in the world right now, as friend, companion and guide."
— Ching-In Chen, author of recombinant and 2023 QTBIPOC Book Prize Judge
