In Groom, Austin Segrest confronts the intricate architecture of memory and power, examining how formative relationships shape and alter us. Through a masterful sequence that moves between past and present, these poems map the complicated territory where mentorship blurs into manipulation, where desire tangles with control. With striking clarity and remarkable formal precision, Segrest explores how we process and survive what shapes us, transforming a difficult personal history into art that reveals that "someone has heard."
Austin Segrest is the author of Door to Remain, winner of the 2021 Vassar Miller Poetry Prize and the Wisconsin Library Association Outstanding Achievement Award. Originally from Alabama, he lives in Appleton, Wisconsin and teaches at Lawrence University. His poetry appears in Poetry Magazine, VQR, The Common, The Yale Review, New England Review, Ploughshares, and other journals. He was a 2018-19 poetry fellow at the Fine Arts Work Center in Provincetown.
