  How is a lyric poem like a polygraph machine? A personal, poetic examination of the technology of truth-telling. 
  Eric Schmaltz’s I Confess delves into the complexities of truth-telling in poetry, and the history of technologies designed to produce truth from willing and unwilling subjects, considering what it means to use a device – poetry or polygraph – to draw out one’s most profound feelings and emotions. 
  Exploring the intersection of power, technology, and language, I Confess meditates on lie detection and its history, including trials by ordeal and pseudoscientific technologies. The poet then turns to his own personal experiences working with a lie detector and polygraph analyst. Taking himself as the central subject of the book, Schmaltz puts his subjectivity and positionality under scrutiny. 
  The answers to questions such as What does family mean to you? and Can you describe a time when you felt your best? inspire a range of forms from conventional lyrical verse to list poems to palindromes to visual poems. With an afterword by Orchid Tierney, I Confess is a personal, poetic document of truth’s performance under duress.

  Thousands of students on this campus, and I keep being set up with the roommate I can’t stand. 
  Felix 
  One date. 
  That’s how long it takes for Marshall Harrows to end up on my bad side. 
  Luckily I have no plans to see the giant teddy bear again. Except when he shows up as my new roommate, I can’t escape him, and he’s just as irritating as I thought he’d be. 
  He leaves cupboards ajar and puts empty milk cartons back in the fridge. His bedroom door is always open, I find his underwear on the laundry floor, and he has this whole bashful sweetheart thing going on that I just … can’t … stand. 
  But the most completely, horribly irritating thing about him is that he’s totally my type. 
  And my friends won’t stop setting us up on blind dates. 
  Marshall 
  One date. 
  That’s how long it took for Felix Andrews to steal my heart. 
  The sparky little spitfire is everything I’m not. Confident, adorable, and completely outspoken. 
  He also wants nothing to do with me. Which is a real problem when I want to give him everything. Including my virginity. 
  But the more I try to gain his attention, the more I see the real him. The one who doesn’t feel worthy of being treated like anything other than a one-night stand. So I decide to take matters into my own hands. 
  A total do-over. One night. One date. Where hopefully I can steal his heart too.
