""Explore new ways to view rot and rebirth with Maggie Bowyer's latest masterpiece. Bowyer's poetry book decomposition presents a ravenous desire to understand itself, to redefine how one grieves a messy death, and to find passion in life despite dissociation and disability. Utilizing stunning imagery, with water and natural growth seeming to be central motifs, Maggie finds new ways to write about the ocean and nature. (Any writer knows that's hard to do.) A pleasant aspect to decode was the frequent variation in form and the clever use of punctuation. Maggie states on page 16 - ""(finally, something is dead to me)"" - but this collection breathes, and with each poem becomes more alive, more reflective, and more engaging. I loved decomposition and I'd recommend it to anyone. It will be particularly touching to queer people and those who've experienced loss. Let's be honest... who hasn't? This is an ever-evolving poet you should keep your eye on. I know I will."" - Prudence Brooks, author of SAVED (Arcana Poetry Press, 2026)
