Early poetry chapbook by the American author praised in Marjorie Perloff's blurb on the rear cover as a "remarkably funny, irreverent, hilarious, sad, touching collection of lyrics, prose poems and crisp language constructions." Tragically, Dlugos contracted HIV in 1987 and died of complications from AIDS in 1990. This collection, published shortly before the global AIDS epidemic, binds together two men affected by the tragedy: Richard Elovich, who took the author photo, is today perhaps best known for his AIDS activism and work with ACT UP.
