Summary |
"Mark Bibbins's book-length poem sequence brings the AIDS crisis during the 1980s and '90s into new light--an account that approximates, with stunning lyricism, 'what music sounds like / just before the record skips.' Addressed to a dead beloved, [this book] troubles the cloud-like space of grief by piecing together the fragmented experiences of youth and loss, anguish and desire. Part Elegy, part memoir in verse, this is a groundbreaking work whose trajectory runs counter to the impulse toward nostalgia, unearthing and reclaiming what was lost."-- French flap. |
