Act Cute

This is a new book. Condition: Brand New.

The second poetry collection from award-winning Queer Poz (PLHIV) writer and performance-maker.

In Act Cute, the poet addresses the gap between memory and the present, and asks how to perform a coherent self amidst the forces of nostalgia, institutional entanglements and reckonings, and queer desiring. Shifting between autofictive address and canonical personae, the structural codes of romantic drama uneasily frame the poet-as-actor through five sections, titled 'Audition Sides', 'you stop me at the airport and tell me that you love me', 'twink death in Europa!!', 'Wedding Scenes' and 'forgiveness'.
