Lost in the Desert - Paperback

by Isaac Amend (Author)

"Lost in the Desert" is Isaac's second poetry collection. Nearly 100 pages long, it explores poems related to nature, relationships, love, heartbreak, and disease. "Lost in the Desert" also incorporates some shorter pieces of prose that explore the author's life, including time spent in foreign countries, feelings of unsafety around being trans, and experiences he's had in Washington DC. Indeed, the author wants to dedicate "Lost in the Desert" to his hometown of DC, where thousands of artists are struggling to make careers every single day. DC as a city needs to make sure that the arts continue to thrive, be it in ballet studios, art galleries in Dupont, or spoken poetry readings at Busboys and Poets. The capital city is alive with beautiful dance, speeches, paintings, and song, and it needs to stay that way.
