Over the course of 25 poems, Tomatoes Beverly explores the connection between the written word and the auditory environment of its creation. Intentionally curating a single-artist soundtrack for each poem, Perry underscores the otherwise subconscious influence our surroundings have on what we put back into the world. Throughout the collection, these musical influences cast their shadows on Perry's usual obsessions-isolation, longing, and visions of their alleviation-within the forests, beaches, and technological dystopias of the Pacific Northwest.
