A soul dive and a psalm, Gion Davis's Designated Stranger spans years, states, genders, and climates as it confronts the concurrent apocalypses of being trans and poor in America. Like the designated hitter or designated driver, the trans poet is brought in to get everyone home. The poems in this collection are about living -- not forever, but for the ride.

Gion Davis is a trans poet from Españ ola, New Mexico, where he grew up on a sheep ranch. His debut collection, Too Much (2022), was selected by Chen Chen for the 2021 Ghost Peach Press Prize. For the past four years, he has toured and performed with the DIY music collective Clementine Was Right, and his contributions to songwriting have been highlighted in publications such as Paste and Stereogum. He graduated with his MFA in Poetry from the University of Massachusetts Amherst and currently lives in Denver, Colorado.
