February poetry giveaway

Dan Schapiro is a disabled poet living with HIV in New York. HOLEPLAY, his first book, writes through and about images and illness. You can find him on Twitter: @gayforcommunism

Dan is giving away 5 hard copies of HOLEPLAY, published by Nueoi Press. Details below. PDF version is available as well for a suggested donation.

*All of the author’s proceeds from this book will be donated towards community-led mutual aid funds for those struggling in the COVID-19 pandemic.

“Dan Schapiro’s HOLEPLAY is a display case of colorful, florid, feverish pain, coming to us in reds and blues of regret, betrayal, deceit, pitiless humiliation, and boyfriend problems, all delivered with a lush and elegant pop sensibility.

The range entailed by all the phrases and pictures covers so many various feelings, calls us to fight for so many buried activisms, and makes it possible to experience so many ‘melismatic insomnias’ that, apparently, we were already living through.”
