oems is a collection of thirty-six lipogrammatic poems composed entirely of flat words such as "sunrise" or "unconsciousness," which contain no ascending or descending letters. Proceeding from the author's lived experience of OCD, the book leans into obsessive-compulsive tendencies, attempting to exorcise them through overuse.
