Notifications On

“Emily Holland’s Notifications On is a wonderfully textured, imminently heartfelt, and deftly crafted debut. Each poem reminds us how to allow intimacy into our everyday, booked-and-busy
lives.” —Steven Leyva, author of The Opposite of Cruelty (Blair Publishing) and The
Understudy’s Handbook (Washington Writers’ Publishing House).

NOTIFICATIONS ON, Emily Holland’s debut collection, interrogates the inherent fallibility of the language of desire. Landscapes and digital platforms become sites of wanting and locations where the speaker attempts to make their yearning—and their queerness—legible. Repetitions of form, of images, and of experience pulse across these poems, connecting them to larger conversations about the commodification of identity and the cyclical nature of our desires and obsessions.
