With oracular grace and whimsy, these poems innovate the public and private axes of gay love in a tumescent future. We meet Connor, a native Nebraskan and fledgling grant writer, and Seal, a financial analyst from Kingston, Jamaica, as they flummox the space between desire and demise, \"the sun again a big orange pill \/ stuck in the blue throat of the sky.\" \u003cem\u003eConnor \u0026amp; Seal \u003c\/em\u003eserves as almanac to a time not far off, of techno-queer bots, state-sponsored violence, and individual resistance. With imaginative dexterity and stylistic flexibility, each poem in \u003cem\u003eConnor \u0026amp; Seal \u003c\/em\u003ebecomes a cipher of the labor of tomorrow's construction: \"a bench where two old faggots had to stop,\" an emblem of a future history, \"as quiet as the siren \/ is alarming.\" \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Sibling Rivalry Press, LLC\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/10\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781943977758\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 78\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.25lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.27h x 5.83w x 0.19d","brand":"Jee Leong Koh","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":36671923814556,"sku":"9781943977758","price":13.56,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_fea408b6-7c34-47dc-af98-9676c8cf8663.jpg?v=1603926549","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/connor-seal-9781943977758","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
