isolated incidents: a poetry collection

In his fresh and introspective debut poetica, Demmitt explores the power that comes with self-reflection in the face of societal expectations. His writing is delicate, intimate, and brazen, offering a sanctuary to where solace and understanding takes the forefront of the queer, Black, and Hispanic experience.

Through his narratives, Demmitt delves into the themes of chosen family, self-love, and the preservation of dignity. His work serves as a healing space, inviting readers to embrace vulnerability and grace in the face of life's challenges and to do so bravely. Demmitt's prose not only captivates but also comforts, making his debut a promising smoke signal for those seeking profound reflection and connection.

Justin Demmitt is a queer Afro-Latino writer hailing from Brooklyn, New York.
