Admit the Joyous Passion of Revolt is a Marxist-feminist epic poem wait, no, it's historical actually it's poems of the worker's body. It is none and all of these things. It is absurd or perhaps entirely sincere. Gomez's second book brings together a series of poems on the life of Bolshevik feminist Alexandra Kollontai. It examines love and desire under capitalism, and imagines how these will look in a post-capitalist world. This is poetry for girls, poetry for communism; it's poetry for the past and for the impossible future.
