Teeth Never Sleep - Poems

"Drawing on folklore and fantasy, childhood memory and hallucination, and marked by a tone of piercing divulgence, [this collection] nimbly negotiates the split consciousness a culture of dominance requires of men (especially men of color), highlighting the fissures in selfhood created by the pressure to seek submission over intimacy while still wanting desperately to be loved, and tracing the contorted route by which emotional pain finds expression in violence"--Provided by publisher.
