Publisher Marketing: In the summer of 1980 in Los Angeles, Black boys are vanishing. A sixteen-year-old gets an office job at one of the city's largest landfills, but his supervisor reroutes him to clean the locker room where the sanitation workers hoard porn of men having sex with teen boys. Amid the detritus and decay of the landfill, a story of seduction and betrayal unfolds. Using the quatern, an incantatory French form, Landfill narrates a tale of fear and desire in a collection of sixteen interlocking poems about the summer that scarred the boy forever.
