Equi is, in *Guernica'*s words, "not a poet's poet and not a people's poet, and yet she is both." That combination of technical prowess and engagement with accessibility makes her very much like Ron Padgettsomeone whose work can be appreciated by all.
The presentas it is expressed it through ads, social media, consumer culture, food, pills, and entertainmentis woven with the small moments of the everyday here, effortlessly tying the post-modern with the personal.
Equi's poetry examines complex ideas with a light touch, playfulness, and grace, and is both casual and incisive at once. Her work is funny and subtle and confidenther humor is a real and charming entry point.
