Crystal Curry's Our Arms of Gymnasium is a "gorgeous, fast-moving, fast-morphing catalogue of attitude, this is a book with a sense of sass firmly attached to its excellent sense of humor and of social reality", writes Cole Sweson.An exploration of sexual evolution and communication, Curry deftly crafts the poems in her sophomore book using a dactylic tetrameter refered to fondly as the "Meter of the Apocalypse". For Curry this book is, "the dissolution of sexual narrative and an effort to piece it back together through logic. The discomfort this book conveys, through lyric, image, and theme, leads readers into a kind of glee and mania as a way to navigate through darker and emptier concerns."
