Top 25 queer fiction poetry books gay kron

Gabrielle Calvocoressi is the author of the forthcoming Rocket Fantastic. In addition, four more of her poems appear with recordings on KROnline here. Can you talk a bit about inventing the symbol to stand in for third-person singular pronouns? Have you used it in other pieces?

That can be in relation to desire or power maybe those things are one in the same for some people or other aspects of the self in relation to others. I was interested in that. And I remain so. In this new book and in my life, I am less and less comfortable categorizing the vessel I live in at any given moment.

I can talk about that in terms of grammar because grammar is, like form, only of interest or use to me when I think of its most organic function. And of being at a smaller press.

But Gabe did he always does. And so we came to the dal segnowhich gets really close. The body of that symbol feels open to me and many-bodied, which is how I think of myself. Or not! It is a terror that feels so much like being young and not able to make clear who I am. I let my breath make the sound that best suits my vision of my body that day.

And if everyone did that as they read the book, it seems to me it would be very beautiful: to not let anyone tell you how to read it, to just be whoever you are in that moment. I am a huge walker and daydreamer. So a lot of my process still has to do with giving myself the space and time to just open to making a world in my mind long before it ends up on the page.

I am someone who needs to fail silly word a lot before I come to the final incarnation of the poem. The world moves so fast that it seems like, yes, a person could be forgotten. I have had to come to terms with and then be liberated by the fact that in order for me to make the art that surprises and challenges me I have to take as long as I take.

I have to risk being nobody too. Which I am anyway and always will be. And also my contemplative life, which consists of everything from sitting meditation to prayer to picking figs off the tree in the morning. And, of course, reading. Always reading. For my new book Russian novels were the thing that influenced me so much.

Just getting lost in them. If I can spend three hours a day inside books and contemplative practice and then get jolted into the world through activism and being really present with my partner, my students, and my fellow citizens? And just a deeper and more fulfilling life. I mean.
