Bücher von Alexander Perez

In Alexander Perez's stunning new collection, Immortal Jellyfish, Perez explores the delicate, vulnerable and beautiful nature of being human: "there is plenty/ loneliness / which always /leaves me wanting." The poet urges the reader to "declaim yourself / lived / proclaim yourself / loved/ make yourself rhythm make yourself rhyme." Perez's poems offer the reader a candid glimpse at the Queer experience.-Leah Huete de Maines, Poet-in-Residence Emerita at Northern Kentucky University
