Nate Lippens - My Dead Book Poetry The home is where our

The home is where our hopes and dreams play out

these stories have never been bettered

In my book The Besieged City I speak indirectly about the mystery of the thing

and acts of solidarity are being made illegal

languages and their topographical contexts

Nate Lippens - My Dead Book Poetry The home is where ourMy Dead Book is a novel composed of nonlinear vignettes and fragments about a queer man approaching his fiftieth birthday who is haunted by insomnia and his past. In the dead of night, he remembers his friends who died in the late 1980s and 1990s, his years as a teenage throwaway and sex worker, and ruminates on working class survival, queer aging, AIDS, and whether he has outlived his place in the world.
