Über diesen Titel

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Charlie Bondhus won his first prize for poetry in the eighth grade, after which he spent four years writing nihilistic high school verse in the style of Baudelaire. Since then, he has earned his MFA in creative writing from Goddard College and is currently pursuing a Ph.D. at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst, where he teaches writing and literature. In addition to poetry, he writes and publishes fiction and literary criticism. His full-length poetry book How the Boy Might See It, which was a finalist for the 2007 Blue Light Press First Book Award, will be out in 2010, along with his novella Monsters and Victims. Charlie currently resides in Chicopee, Massachusetts, with his longtime partner, their two cats, and a very spirited Madagascar Day gecko.

Aus dem Klappentext

Charlie Bondhus, in the poems of What We Have Learned to Love, updates the lineage of Whitman and Ginsberg with energy, passion, and confession. The verve of these poems is palpable.--Kenny Fries, author of The History of My Shoes and the Evolution of Darwin's Theory and Body, Remember Charlie Bondhus's candid and rousing What We Have Learned to Love is rife with the wisdom and humor of a gay man's passionately lived experiences. A gutsy and irreverent student of the gay canon, he details, in one of his vibrant poems, a hilarious and poignant tryst with a resurrected Walt Whitman. In a similar unfettered vein, Bondhus's unabashed scrapbook seems truer than Madonna's Sex . This bold and heartfelt chapbook is a delight! --Cyrus Cassells, author of Lambda-award winning Beautiful Signor
