Pick Up Your Feelings uses form and the idea of self to delve into modern queerness, relationships, friendships and the power of Scorpios. An unabashedly emotional collection of poems that bounce from the LA Hills to the Paris metro via dating apps and DMs.

As well as looking at modern relationships, at the core of the book are Christopher’s “alt” poems, poems that aim to decipher our coded digital and physical identities to find the emotional truth within.
