I recently read M. Mack’s chapbook MINE, a collection made up of scraps borrowed from a cable TV shopping channel, and I was struck by hir ability to transform the most artificial of formulas into lyrical pieces that are at once estranging, funny, and intimate. As in hir previous work, Mack implodes gender and genre categories to imagine avenues for bodily and literary reconfiguration as we navigate the incessant calls for conformity that flood our mediated realities. I am thrilled to see Mack expand the limits of the possible at Delta Mouth, this time without the page or the screen in between. —Maria Anna Zazzarino, Community Engagement Coordinator
