Nate Lippens - My Dead Book Poetry In a moment of struggle

In a moment of struggle defined by the rollback of social welfare programs

López Paniagua focuses on Kelley’s artistic production between 1995 and his death in 2012

In my book The Besieged City I speak indirectly about the mystery of the thing

these stories have never been bettered

Then there’s Rosaleen

Nate Lippens - My Dead Book Poetry In a moment of struggleMy Dead Book is a novel composed of nonlinear vignettes and fragments about a queer man approaching his fiftieth birthday who is haunted by insomnia and his past. In the dead of night, he remembers his friends who died in the late 1980s and 1990s, his years as a teenage throwaway and sex worker, and ruminates on working class survival, queer aging, AIDS, and whether he has outlived his place in the world.
