Queer in the decades before Gay Liberation; Romani; incarcerated in prisons and asylums; illiterate into adulthood: it's tempting to read Hyatt according to the familiar script of the doomed poet, resounding with loneliness and isolation. But his poetry--\"hot and tender,\" funny and sad--tells another story: of love, liberatory commitment, and desire.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Nightboat Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/16\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781643621784\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 208","brand":"Mark Hyatt","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42776246747317,"sku":"9781643621784","price":16.96,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_298c1d79-1d98-4cff-a7c9-dd458afa9942.jpg?v=1679412235","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/so-much-for-life-selected-poems-9781643621784","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
