Publishing Day – Dancing Backwards Towards Pluperfect

November 10, 2024 ·

Today (October 30th) is the birth of my official Scorpio poetry book (I didn’t plan this), Dancing Backwards Towards Pluperfect, published by Diode Editions. It’s now shipping, and if you pre-ordered, you probably already received yours. Note I am a bit late in posting this as I have been giving myself a post-election breather.

I’m really touched by all the support this book has received. Lots of wonderful photos shared on social. A couple of people said they “couldn’t put it down,” that they “read it right away,” that it “made them laugh and cry.” Not sure what more I could ask for.

The book is about queerness, abandonment, loss, and grief, all the kinds. I have intended to sell it here in bundles with prints, but I am behind in everything, and still finishing up a Granta workshop. In the new year, I’ll hopefully get it together. But I do have copies if you’d like a signed one (DM me on social), and for unsigned copies, find them on Diode’s site. It’s 12 dollars, plus reasonable shipping for U.S. If you are interested in using the book for say, a queer poetics course, you can write Diode for discount information–same for international shipping. I know they have one other option. I hope to release this in digital form, but we’ll see… Thanks for all your support. And hang in there. I think community is one of the things essential to navigating these times. Thanks to those of you who have been part of my community.
