And If You Insist On Knowing My Bliss
The Publishing Triangle and the Bi Writers Association each announced their finalists for literary awards this week, and No Confession, No Mass made it onto the shortlists for both the Audre Lorde Award for Lesbian Poetry and the Bisexual Book Award for Poetry. It's an honor to have my work recognized along so many other great books: Caprice: Collected, Uncollected, & New Collaborations by Denise Duhamel and Maureen Seaton; Life in a Box is a Pretty Life by Dawn Lundy Martin; Fanny Says by Nickole Brown; and Bodymap by Leah Lakshmi Piepzna-Samarasinha. As always, the shortlists remind me how much brilliant queer literature is out there, and I'm excited to explore the finalist books that I haven't read yet.
And, while I'm on the subject of lists: Thanks to E. Ce Miller for naming No Confession, No Mass as one of the 13 Poetry Collections to Read for National Poetry Month. Anna Moschovakis' They and We Will Get into Trouble for This and Robyn Schiff's A Woman of Property are already on my April reading list, and Ladan Osman's The Kitchen-Dweller's Testimony is one of the best books I've read recently. What are you looking forward to reading this National Poetry Month?
