I'm thinking of reading too many poems, so maybe you folks could recommend some cuts—even just based on the titles:
Metrosexuality
Her Breast
The Killing of Frank O'Hara
A Game of Pool
Elegy for Harvey Milk
White Rabbit: This Is Not the Right Hole
Straight Men Make Difficult Lovers
Red Door Clinic
The Private Lives of Pigeons
Ritual Visit to Bathrooms I've Intimately Known: a Last Goodbye and Marriage
Therapist with a Dream Inside: Friday Morning Aubade
The Taste of Me
Walk-in Closets Are Better than Boxes
Truth Be Told (Either By Me or Someone Else Who Inevitably Speaks Up)
First Crush
Saturday Night: Underage, I Escape My Misery in Liquor
Lets say goodbye to "The Taste of Me." "First Crush" is our next victim. And finally "Red Door Clinic."
ReplyDeleteThe rest of the titles are great, especially: "Ritual Visit to Bathrooms I've Intimately Known: a Last Goodbye and Marriage" and "Straight Men Make Difficult Lovers."
When is your defense?
