New Beautiful Tendons: Collected Queer Poems, 1969-2012 (Revised)

by Jeffery Beam

Overview

Poetry is an enrapturing process that intensifies the discovery of experience and only what arises out of this urgency produces utterance that is distinctive and honest. Here in these sinewy acts shine the mobilities of praise, the delight in the body's beauty and its surprises, the wonder of beholding energy and love.
