Dances of Time and Tenderness

A cycle of stories linking queer memory, activism, death, and art in a transpoetic history of desire and touch.Dances of Time and Tenderness is a bold, sensual cycle of transpoetic stories that blend memory and movement in an innovative choreo-text of rage, sweetness and sorrow. A dance hall where the dead and the living meet, the tales take us from the dungeons of 1990s San Francisco to the goldsmith's forges of the earliest cities, tracing a transgenderational lineage of queer carnality. Not a memoir, but a collective memory, Julian Carter invites us to join artists and AIDS activists, sailors and skeletons, to fulfill the trans promise: "what we do with our bodies changes worlds."Author: Julian CarterPublisher: Nightboat BooksPublished: 06/04/2024Pages: 144Binding Type: PaperbackWeight: 0.50lbsSize: 8.40h x 5.80w x 0.70dISBN: 9781643622347Review Citation(s): Kirkus Reviews 05/01/2024About the AuthorJulian Carter has been thinking with his body for a very long time.
