Stunning poetry collection! From the publisher: “Mark Bibbins‘s book-length poem sequence brings the AIDS crisis of the 1980s and ‘90s into new light—an account that approximates, with stunning lyricism, “what music sounds like / just before the record skips.” Part elegy, part memoir in verse, this is a groundbreaking collection whose trajectory runs counter to the impulse toward nostalgia, unearthing what was thought to have burned in the fire.”
