The Rosebud Variations

More about the book

This debut collection delves into the intricate dynamics of individuality versus community and the complexities of queerness within a traditional family framework. Through obsessive poetic sequences, the speaker-narrators confront Western art's giants and challenge the heteronormative values that often dominate it. The work raises profound questions about the power of imagination to foster intimacy, love, and impact history, while also contemplating the potential isolation that creative expression can bring.
