Description
Poetry. LGBTQIA Studies. "THE RESIGNATION meditates on the fraught relation between multitudes such as: sonnets, sexy lakes, sestinas, psychoanalysis, realistic nightgowns, Bert & Ernie's slutty leather gear, the childhood fantasy of the mother-vulture, and Puritan speech. Magnetic fields of explanation nervously masturbate in a public portal of joyously reappropriated repression. How do you know this is for real? Because there is power and vast broken light. There is nothing but pleasure. And there is this clear place within care."—Rachel Zolf
