I want you to feel ugly, too - Joe Nasta

Power. Lust. Rage. I want you to feel ugly, too, Joe Nasta's debut book of poetry, pierces the veil between public and private, professional and inappropriate, functional and dysfunctional with zir conversational, lyrical, and unabashedly honest voice. Ze investigates masculinity, romance addiction, pop culture saturation, performance of sexuality, internet-bound bodies, and queerness before addressing the reader as the warped half of zir own mind: "Who do I want to be?/Who do I want to be?"
