Dear Dear - Paperback
Description
by Reuben Gelley Newman (Author)
Winner of the 2025 Louise Bogan Award, Reuben Gelley Newman's Dear Dear renders queer love through the lens of music, art, nature, and politics. Drawing on artists from Bach to Mitski, Gelley Newman flirts with nostalgia but refuses to dwell in the past, asking how remembering our ancestors can reinvigorate our present struggles. In these poems, sound becomes the language of desire and self-expression: "I want to do better / I want to be the husband of the song." Combining playful sonnets and earnest narratives, Dear Dear searches for belonging in our grief-stricken world.
