Poetry. LGBT Studies. This is the second coming of Cedar Sigo's SELECTED WRITINGS in a new expanded edition bound to dig a bicoastal poetic aqueduct with heartland tricklers. Sigo's work is most aptly compared to plumbing without the pipes: water flows in elegant designs through invisible walls at a touch. Originally released in the spring of 2003, the first edition of Sigo's book quickly sold out; the present edition adds a number of new poems to the surviving text and comes sheathed in a freshly offset and letterpressed cover designed by Jeremy Mickel.

Born in 1978 on the Suquamish Indian Reservation in Washington State, Cedar Sigo studied at the Naropa Institute with Anne Waldman, Lisa Jarnot, Alice Notley, Joanne Kyger, and Allen Ginsberg, among others. His first book, SELECTED WRITINGS (Ugly Duckling Presse, 2003), was reprinted in a revised edition in 2005. A writer on art, literature, and film, Sigo has collaborated with many visual artists and recently blogged for SFMOMA's Open Space. In June 2009, he gave a reading at New York's P.S.1 Contemporary Art Center in conjunction with its Kenneth Anger retrospective.
