Description:
In
her novels, poetry, and prose, Amber Dawn has written eloquently on queer femme
sexuality, individual and systemic trauma, and sex work justice, themes drawn
from her own lived experience and revealed most notably in her award-winning memoir
How Poetry Saved My Life.
In this, her second poetry collection, Amber Dawn takes stock of the costs of coming out on the page in
a heartrendingly honest and intimate investigation of the toll that artmaking
takes on artists. These long poems offer difficult truths within their
intricate narratives that are alternately incendiary, tender, and rapturous.
In a cultural era when
intersectional and marginalized writers are topping bestseller lists, Amber Dawn
invites her readers to take an unflinching look at we expect from writers, and from each other.
Includes a foreword by writer Doretta Lau (How
Does a Single Blade of Grass Thank the Sun?).
