Written by an aunt to her potential niece, the letters in Dear Z: The Zygote Epistles introduce the "Z" to the wildly vexed work of taking on--and hanging onto selfhood. Shape-shifting from love poems to prose poems, musical spells to logic equations monostiches to math symbols, these letters meditate on self and world--specifically, what personhood, identity and community membership might entail in a perilous age. With these epistles' "epi-pen," the speaker takes her zygote-niece on a virtual tour of the checkered landscape that is 21 st - century America, where Alphabet now is a firm on the Nasdaq, prisons harvest children for profit, and the architectures of authentic personhood are almost always under siege. In the spirit of serious play, Dear Z's narrative arc bends toward hope as some of the poems test out rap and Old English, while others yearn toward blues, rock, and animal-sound. The book casts a wide net of wonderings about self and other, mind and marketplace, language and consciousness: "Is language anguish gauge or laughing gas? / Correct answer: yes," suggests the speaker. Some of the poems take solace in the South Sea Islander from Moby-Dick the character Queequeg, who, traveling through time, implies through his tattooed runes that he wants us all to serve as real-time person assisters. In Dear Z, we are summoned to ask What is one i?, while at the same time we are called to see all citizens as members of "my group"--the pain of others, our severest strand of anguish.Binding Type: Paperback

True to size
Color: Lake Green, Size: Large
Ordered this because my husband has ordered tank tops from this company so I had something for reference, but this ran true to size and fit my husband great. He’s a size L. The shirt had like a dry fit feel to it. It was breathable and was pretty wrinkle resistant. We’ve washed and dried it a few times and it doesn’t get crazy wrinkles. It’s not too thick so it’s great for an occasion during warmer weather. There was a huge variety of different styles of shirts. For the price it’s great.

Stubborn Wrinkles
Color: Black, Size: XX-Large
The shirt came vacuum sealed. After two washings the wrinkles are still there. Beautiful shirt but not wearable yet. I'll try steaming it! It fits well.

Great shirt and Great price
Size: X-Large, Color: Black
I really like this short sleeve shirt — it’s stylish, comfortable, and perfect for any occasion. The fabric feels soft yet durable, and it keeps me cool even on warmer days. The fit is flattering without being too tight, making it a great addition to my everyday wardrobe.
