Review
“Evie Shockley burns up the page with her new collection…. semiautomatic is a 21st century survival guide, fierce and full of compassion.”—Diana Whitney, San Francisco Chronicle“[N]otable not only for the way it navigates questions of identity & politics, but for the variety & virtuosity of its use of form.” —Robert Archambeau, The Hudson Review“...semiautomatic grapples with the violent imprint America has made upon black bodies through the ages.”—Tracy K. Smith, The New York Times, “Political Poetry Is Hot Again. The Poet Laureate Explores Why, and How” “Ablaze with wordplay and formal ingenuity, Shockley's poems chronicle the horrors of the 21st century while igniting the imagination as an act of hope.”—John McMurtrie, San Francisco Chronicle, “Year in review: The best books of 2018”

Review
"Evie Shockley suggests that poetry is necessary to seeing, surviving with equilibrium and wholeness in this period's vital and precarious junctures. The poems in semiautomatic are on fire. This will make an excellent source book of poetic form and historically grounded black aesthetics for the classroom." ―Erica Hunt, Long Island University"Evie Shockley's semiautomatic goes beyond mere weaponry. This book is revelatory. A tool in the chest of cultural workers, a vocabulary that resists decoration; this is self-portraiture and truth-telling at its best. From her epic 'the topsy suite' to her one-acts (a new form), through her fearless lens and appropriation of authorities, there's no level of denial or proof-vest that will protect you from Shockley's poetry. You can run, Reader, but you will not be able to look the other way." ―Willie Perdomo, author of The Essential Hits of Shorty Bon Bon"This is an extraordinary, wonderful book. Evie Shockley is a great black poet. I know she might not put it that way, and sees all of what's problematic in my putting it that way. Her greatness is in that, too. She makes revolution irresistible just like she heard we should." ―Fred Moten, author of The Little Edges"There is no keener mind in American poetry than Shockley's, with her quick turns and inflections, slipping between subjectivity and documentary, between verse and refrain. Her poems engage―politically, formally, historically, profoundly―with the redistribution of power through language. Read this book and get shook." ―D. A. Powell

I would like to say that Evie Shockley’s work has communicated a sense of assurance and pride, as so many critics have exclaimed. Sadly, I would be lying through my teeth if I confirmed such communication. On the contrary, “Semiautomatic†seemed to siphon the notion of civil communication from my psyche, temporarily reducing me to a soulless husk until I put the book down.On the rare instances when the book doesn’t read like the schizophrenic ramblings of a cortisol-addicted madwoman, I can glean a malformed expression of hatred through the incomprehensible experimentation of how to read and speak English. I wish I could determine exactly WHAT Shockley hates so much, but the specifics seem to have been lost as soon as her words hit paper. Then again, I may need to apply Hanlon’s Razor at this point.Between horrendous attempts at addressing the concepts and points of race, sexuality, and identity, Shockley gives wonderful examples of what to never do when writing. Namely, using the English language not as a means of internal expression, but as a means to projectile vomit half-baked political schmaltz onto the face of an unsuspecting reader. This culminates in my conclusion that “Semiautomatic†teeters between being a sloppy try at propaganda and not being literature at all.In addition to the cacophonous mess of her chosen themes, I am convinced that Shockley failed to proofread her poems. The capitalization scheme varies wildly from scribbling to scribbling, and the formatting choices frequently interfere with understanding the text.Also worth stating: The Nutrition Facts label is NOT an effective format for a poem, and the description of the nutritional information of a two-year-old girl is innately disturbing.This book made me withdraw from my Creative Writing minor at the last semester because not even a 3 credit class requirement is worth putting a mind through this sort of unspeakable debasement of literature. The book will be re-gifted to some acquaintances of mine who are in dire need of something to read, as well as something to put coffee cups on.
listening to the author read her poems moved me. I bought the kindle version after Evie started tearing up reading a poem from section 3. In section 4 she has presented a fragmented poem that is pulling from singers, artists, and old works about a hero's journey.The poems are layered. They have emotions obvious to people that can directly relate to the struggle in the poem's theme and apparent upon a little research or analysis.
Inventive, formally innovative poetry.
