d-sorientation was selected by Blessing the Boats Selections Editor-at-Large Aracelis Girmay from a pool of one hundred and seventy-two submissions. 

Of McClure's manuscript, Girmay writes, "d-sorientation is a work of staggering beauty, intellect, and grace. Here, Charleen McClure takes up the wondrous, radical work of being in ongoingly deep relation with another. A mother, a body, a place, a lover. And so these richly interior, sensual, precise works gleam with labor and time. The intimacies of caretaking. But also the imagination and feeling that exceed the words. Each page is a field charged through with palpable energy. Processual yet minimalist. Formidable and tender. I am deeply humbled and grateful to read this work of such rigorous reflection—a work which scrutinizes as it attends to its quiet and privacy. Truly truly truly truly truly: it is an astonishment out of which such beauty emerges."
