In the Middle of a Better World: Poems

What do we risk by living our most authentic lives? More importantly, what do we gain?

In the Middle of a Better World is a queer guide to love and identity, a collection both formally inventive and infused with a bright, shimmering imagination. Part elegy, part battle cry, this highly anticipated new collection by Grant Chemidlin is unabashedly joyous in its exploration of desire, human connection, and community--those we're born into and those we build ourselves.
