The Story
What is gay about the weather? Queer about gardening? Feminist about recovery? Lesbian about every piece of art? The poems in Lesbian Dinosaurs / Dinosaur Lesbians move through the natural world, the political moment, literary lineage, and a domestic space, built piece by piece by two wives, to claim their rightful place at the center of poetry itself. Would the mentors and guides and ghosts referenced in these poems-many of them situated at the center of heteropatriarchal midcentury America-be able to clock Nicole Santalucia's radical, full flowering? Maybe. Poetry has always been a complicated paradise, and we are lucky to have a new way in. -Laura Cronk, author of Ghost Hour
