A powerful debut and a lyric coming-of-age narrative that interrogates the myths we carry

In Find Me When You're Ready, Perry Janes traces a sweeping journey from Detroit to Los Angeles. As he leaves home and forges toward California, the speaker in these poems considers how we learn and mislearn ideas about manhood, confronts the aftershocks of childhood sexual abuse, and questions the human need for belonging. By embracing the touchstones of youth--movies, lore, graphic novels--these poems assert the speaker's defiant right to childhood even amid damage.

As the collection arcs toward adulthood, the speaker embodies a vision of healing that refuses easy binaries and embraces the joys of intimacy. Across each of its five acts, Perry Janes's debut collection is driven by an interest troubling our creation myths, asking who built them, why we carry them, and how we might set them aside.
