Award-winning novelist and memoirist Amber Dawn reveals a gutsy lyrical sensibility in her debut poetry collection: a collection of glosa poems written as an homage to and an interaction with queer poets such as Gertrude Stein, Christina Rossetti, and Adrienne Rich. By doing so, Dawn delves deeper into the themes of trauma, memory, and unblushing sexuality that define her work.

Amber Dawn is the author of the Lambda Award-winning novel Sub Rosa and the memoir How Poetry Saved My Life (winner of the Vancouver Book Award). Her other awards include the Writers' Trust of Canada Dayne Ogilvie Prize.

      Dawn's Vancouver Book Award-winning How Poetry Saved My Life: A Hustler's Memoir and Lambda Literary Award-winning first novel, Sub Rosa, build naturally to this autobiographical first collection. In your face yet tightly, beautifully crafted, it uses the glosa, a 15th-century Spanish form, as it moves through hard-bitten high school years ("our after-school program was Alcoholics Anonymous"), depression, stripping and hustling, sex and sexuality, to tough love with tough women and a deep relationship with queer writers from Gertrude Stein to Adrienne Rich. A bravura performance--and insightful if scary reading for poetry lovers and more.
