A New Sense of Luxury 

My first full length poetry collection, A New Sense of Luxury, is now available at Eureka! Press.


“Shanekia McIntosh’s A New Sense of Luxury is a lyric epic of presence, where being here and now is too often a choice between only “Pleasurescrolling./Doomscrolling.”—thus, not enough and too much at the same time. 21st-century luxury is such a muchness as that, up in imperial prolapse, what’s luxe ain’t nothing if the good feeling doesn’t cost someone some blood. Sometimes, the buyer’s. McIntosh spurns, reels, wants, and winces in a tableau of cramped plentitude and roomy scarcity, taking inventory. This book tells us what’s extra and what’s missing.”
