Graeme Bezansons debut collection, Ultra Blue, is a book-length sequence of poems about the emotional lives of boys and the challenges of growing up within contemporary constructions of masculinity.

The truth no one wants to name, writes bell hooks, is that all boys are being raised to be killers even if they learn to hide the killer within. These intense, insistently strange poems developed from Bezanson’s struggles with guiding his young son through a culture of toxic masculinity and violence. This is work in dialogue with existing texts of boyhood and masculinity, in particular Jean-Jacques Rousseaus Emile. The books three main sections make up a kind of fractured readers diary, broken up by two interludes of divinations sparser erasure poems made using the changing positions of Elon Musks Starlink satellites to pick words from the transcript of an interview between self-proclaimed proponents of toxic masculinity Tucker Carlson and Andrew Tate. By processing existing texts and recasting them into a present, personal moment, Ultra Blue navigates the joy, despair, vivid arcana, and routine violence of boyhood under Western patriarchy.
