What Weaponry is the story of a man who moves to small-town America with his lover after his parents die. They experience many social, emotional, and mental trials. Are the neighbors throwing dirty looks? Are they being watched? Is someone stealing the mail? As the situation intensifies, feelings of paranoia deepen, mental and physical brutality grows between them, and their connection to reality falls into rapid decline. " Handsomely forged like the best scenes of the best art films." – Debra DiBlasi " Colen has done something more nimble than write a book of prose poems. She has created a wonder, a linear circularity – ' We haven' t slept but tired' s come back to wild elation the way all things circle back to meet their opposites.' " – TC Tolbert " What' s constant in these dazzling lyrical vignettes is the desire for intimacy in the throes of love' s changing face. It' s a remarkable book." – Oliver de la Paz
