Metronome

Author: James Loop
Publisher: Winter Editions (2026)

Comprising a decade of writing, James Loop’s debut collection chronicles an ordinary life in patriarchal time, its subjugation and inventive resistance. In conversation with classical and modern models—particularly the Latin lyric and twentieth-century queer literatures—Metronome sounds an arcade of voices whose multiplicity, deviance, and good (and bad) humor subtly subvert authority’s myths.
