Writing Your Name on the Glass reckons with the duration of memory and the peculiarities of the present, tackling what it means to be both beloved and also subject to love's grasp. Joining the poetics of the queer south, Jim Whiteside furthers the conversation about identity, place, and desire in contemporary queer relationships. These elegant and precise poems document the process of reassembling broken pieces and finding one's voice again.

@whiteside_jim @greensbororevie "when Whiteside writes of fanblades, we feel both the delicacy of the paper unfurling and the air sharply cut into shape. These are poems to clutch: feathery, fighting and bright.” —Beth Bachmann WRITING YOUR NAME ON THE GLASS only $10 | limited time —> https://t.co/aMKehuh2bK https://t.co/Bv4TolbLdR

Writing Your Name on the Glass from Jim Whiteside is a beautiful treatise of forgiveness for a love that needs so much more than it wants to; a heart cleaved open early, begging still to be filled. @whiteside_jim https://t.co/klConbdE4d https://t.co/fh5990tb3f
