Sumario:"Though the poems are forms borne out of the intersection of violence and sexuality, they also affirm the tenderness and compassion necessary to give consciousness and identity sufficient meaning. The characters in these poems try to locate the possible meanings and effects of experience, and their language is the threshold over which the brutal crosses into the beautiful. This collection is an achievement of courage and vision."--Jacket.
"An architecture equally poetry, fairy tale, autobiography, and fiction, The Room Where I Was Born rebuilds the house of the lyric from fragments salvaged from experience and literature. Following a trajectory from the bedrooms of childhood through the hotel rooms of adulthood, the book is a fable about desire, filtered through the losses and fractures of trauma. Its lush, sensual language is the life within violence where imagination resides."
