Poetry. LGBT Studies. "'I'm portable. My mind travels / the verse and valleys of whole people' says the poet. Correct! Readers of this book will discover their own memories. They will melt in them, amazed, lullabied, dramatized, shocked that they exist. Amy King is a true bard"—Tomaž Šalamun.

Author Hometown: Brooklyn, NY USA
