DEATH & DISASTER SERIES
by Lonely Christopher
ePub format
Lonely Christopher’s debut poetry collection was a controversial cris de coeur that attracted scorn and praise on its initial release for an unsparing portrayal of a young alcoholic gay writer struggling to find meaning in the loss of his mother to cancer. Inspired by Rimbaud’s “derangement of the senses,” Christopher embraces an enfant terrible persona, unafraid of raw emotions, scrawling intense and devastating lyrics that push verse to its breaking point. In a combination of experimental and confessional modes, using a complex array of styles, personal bereavement is trapped between penury and hatred of capitalism. This notorious volume has been acclaimed as a contemporary classic of the queer avant-garde.
This Roof edition features a new afterword by the author. The poems have been corrected and revised to create a definitive text.
The Author:
Lonely Christopher is the author of the poetry collections The Resignation and In a January Would from Roof Books. He also wrote the short story collection The Mechanics of Homosexual Intercourse and the novel THERE.

His film credits include several international shorts and the feature MOM, which he wrote and directed. He lives in Brooklyn with his spouse, the poet Venn Daniel.
This is an epub file suitable for all ereaders.
