Mark Doty says of Brent Calderwood's debut collection of poetry, The God of Longing: The man who speaks in Brent Calderwood's poems longs for the affective, erotic and soulful bond between two men that we'd like love to be, yet he also understands that love occupies a fault zone, a territory of fracture and slippages. That's the rocky landscape of this book, but struggle is also a source of education, and Calderwood's poetic voice is increasin...

Prediction: You will love A History of the Unmarried if you are married, or ambivalent about marriage, or hate the idea of marriage, or hope to be married someday. There is something sincere and surprising here for you, whatever your gender or orientation: if you have ever been in a long-term relationship, or ever hope to be, if you are a fan of Mad Men, old movies, Perry Mason, Frank O'Hara, Sylvia Plath, and/or Jackson Pollock, if you have e...

The Erotic Postulate is arresting and subtle in its exploration of the complexities, histories, and realities of gay sexuality, aesthetics, and identity.

Anyone who cares about the present and future of poetry should read this brilliant, groundbreaking book. - Alice Fulton

The world of Daniel Nathan Terry's City of Starlings, which is our world, is "disastrously beautiful." That's how he describes a camellia blooming beside a condemned house just across the street.

A puppy (named Lucky) discovered nuzzled up beside his car-crushed brother, or the light limning a white egret at the very moment a friend's child is stillborn. In a bo...

This collection of lyric poems is a fugue of friendship: a straight girl and a gay boy coming of age in early 1970s America. Interwoven with a lifetime of intimacies shared, the narrative tracks a second life of grief, when a soul-mate dies. There is a sense of private humor perfectly matched, and a sense of every thing holy.
