Event Details

Winner of the 2022 Jean Feldman Poetry Prize from the Washington Writers' Publishing House, You Cannot Save Here is a collection of poems about how we live when each day feels like the world is ending. The poems ask what we do with the small moments that matter when so much around us—climate disaster, gun violence, pandemics, wars—makes these days feel apocalyptic. The book is a bit speculative and a bit confessional. It's queer, punk, and woven tightly with cultural allusion—from visual art to video games, pop culture to counterculture.

Tonee Moll is an award winning queer writer and educator.  They hold an MFA in creative writing and publishing arts, are finishing their dissertation for a PhD in English, and are an assistant professor of English at a Maryland community college. Tonee’s poetry has received the Adele V. Holden award for creative excellence and the Bill Knott Poetry Prize.
