As Burning Leaves - Paperback

by Gabriel Jesiolowski (Author)

Winner of the 2015 Benjamin Saltman Poetry Award selected by Carl Phillips, As Burning Leaves offers spaciousness and breath. Both homesick and sick of home, it chronicles a landscape of longing scored with traces of film, contemporary art, and song. Vivid and vital, Jesiolowski's queer insight lends a critical voice to the fleeting: "wind moves the leaves across the water / they do not gather / do not cling."
