These powerful poems capture unexpected moments of lucidity among the desire and heartbreak of becoming oneself.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn his debut collection, Jim Whiteside astonishes with turns of phrases that pinpoint the beauty in the mundane--the \"waterfalling bodies\" of fish while stocking a pond--and the mundane in the tragic, as with the realization following his father's death that \"in the end so much is paperwork.\" In revealing his origin story, Whiteside redefines the queer poem in a more nuanced and contemporary way, acknowledging queer life beyond conventional narratives. Filled with a zeal for life, a yearning for joy, and moments of sublime satisfaction, this collection shimmers with longing and freedom.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Wisconsin Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/10\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780299360146\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 112","brand":"Jim Whiteside","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53273406111925,"sku":"9780299360146","price":15.26,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/9780299360146.jpg?v=1789485486","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/another-man-9780299360146","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
