S. Leonard's dazzling debut poetry collection. Moving through glitter, ash, memory, and music, these poems follow a queer time traveler across decades and geographies, from turn-of-the twenty-first-century Missouri to 1970s San Francisco to imagined origins of music itself. Along the way, they come of age, try drag, lose friends, and fall in love, tracing a life shaped by history's ruptures and its celebrations. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eLeonard's poems travel through temporal sites of plague and resilience, from the AIDS epidemic to COVID-19 lockdowns, while also lingering in spaces of dance, performance, and community such as discos, living rooms, archives, and bars. Themes of change course throughout the collection in climate and cities, in bodies and identities, and in the fragile yet enduring structures of queer belonging. Even as the poems confront grief and loss, they insist on joy as an equally vital inheritance. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eRich with cultural references, from \u003ci\u003eThe Wizard of Oz \u003c\/i\u003eto Felix González-Torres, from Tim Dlugos to Destiny's Child, \u003ci\u003eAnother Anthem of Fabulous Survival \u003c\/i\u003ereads like a jukebox of queer history, each poem a track spinning across time.

The result is a collection alive with humor, tenderness, and fierce imagination, a testament to survival and to the music that carries us through.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e T.
