Queer Poetry Reading Group: Bury It

The Library at Bradbury-Sullivan LGBT Community Center invites the community to participate in the September discussion of the center's Queer Poetry Reading Group, featuring Bury It by Sam Sax, winner of the 2017 James Laughlin Award from the Academy of American Poets. The collection begins with poems written in response to the spate of highly publicized young gay suicides in the summer of 2010. What follows are raw and expertly crafted meditations on death, rituals of passage, translation, desire, diaspora, and personhood. What's at stake is survival itself and the archiving of a lived and lyric history.
