By turns dreamy, hysterical, earthy, and perverse, the poems of \u003cem\u003eNatch\u003c\/em\u003e speak the dialogue of a person's parts, the dynamism of a queer body desiring something between rest and consumption. In her stunningly assured voice, compounded of bravado and vulnerability, Dahlin outlines the threshold where feeling takes over the body's functioning, desire leads us past deciding, and we are so lustful that we are not dead when we have finished dying.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"Sophia Dahlin's witty, searching, and multi-humored poems are astute and forthright in their light\/dark erotics. With the buoyancy that \u003cem\u003eNatch\u003c\/em\u003e suggests, this is also serious stuff. Refusing default logics, ingenious poetic powers are at play in these pages.\"--\u003cstrong\u003eJoan Retallack\u003c\/strong\u003e, author of \u003cem\u003eBOSCH'D\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"The thinking in Sophia Dahlin's poems is thrillingly unforeseeable, the turns of phrase are addictively unique, and the poems as wholes will leave most of the other things you read tasting awfully bland by comparison. This is poetry written at the pitch of a brilliant mind, expressed with rare lucidity.\"--\u003cstrong\u003eKit Schluter\u003c\/strong\u003e, author of \u003cem\u003ePierrot's Fingernails\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"\u003cem\u003eNatch\u003c\/em\u003e is poetry gold-plated with queer love and lust. Sophia Dahlin resists the rigid binary of top v. bottom and instead renders a switchy lyricism that perverts all things pastoral in embrace of queer slipperiness. Give \u003cem\u003eNatch\u003c\/em\u003e the summer sweat and oozing attention it deserves.\"--\u003cstrong\u003eAndrea Abi-Karam\u003c\/strong\u003e, author of \u003cem\u003eEXTRATRANSMISSION\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e City Lights Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/01\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780872868106\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 100\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.25lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 6.90h x 5.40w x 0.50d","brand":"Sophia Dahlin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":36645487607964,"sku":"9780872868106","price":13.56,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_4cdd4460-1260-49ea-8724-291df941fb4f.jpg?v=1603861234","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/natch-city-lights-spotlight-no-20-9780872868106","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
