When there's only one document to be found in the archive, can our misheard or half-remembered family stories be enough? \u003ci\u003eMy Great-Grandfather Danced Ballet\u003c\/i\u003e is a daring, erotic, and humorous exploration of queer longing and Jewish possibility at the turn of two centuries. In a captivating series of narrative poems, Misha Solomon entwines an alternate memoir of his great-grandfather in pre-Holocaust Romania with a contemporary gay life in Montreal. With profound vision, voice, and craft, Solomon sets a new and powerful precedent for speculative poetic histories, allowing intimacy to find a way through memories real, imagined, and desired.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Misha Solomon\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1771316675\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781771316675\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Brick Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/17\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 96\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.45lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.70h x 6.00w x 0.70d","brand":"Misha Solomon","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48217823412479,"sku":"9781771316675","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_24f0bb1f-56bf-4413-beca-fcdbdf407fff.jpg?v=1771999684","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/my-great-grandfather-danced-ballet-misha-solomon-9781771316675","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
