Drakkar Noir

Michael Chang, a Brooklyn Poets fellow, and recipient of multiple fellowships, has been a finalist in contests like the Iowa Review, BOMB, NightBlock, & many others. Their poems have also been nominated for Best of the Net & the Pushcart Prize.

In Drakkar Noir (the winner of the 2021 BOOM Chapbook Contest) Chang takes us on a wild ride. These poems are funny, acerbic, sexy, insane, wide open, and, ultimately, welcoming. We love it. We know you will too.
