Good Housekeeping

The contradictions of privilege and want, the dynamics of gay marriage, the joy of a good cocktail - all enter the mix as these 31 poems explore home, marriage, travel, war, sensuality, tea, and, yes, housekeeping. Selected as an Editor’s Pick by BookLife Reviews, Good Housekeeping includes ＂The Foldout Couch,＂ which was nominated for a 2024 Pushcart Prize. Some poems have appeared in The Journal of American Poetry, The Mandarin Magazine, and World Literature Today, among other places.

Mainstream audiences, LGBTQA+, and readers who are interested in social justice and climate issues will enjoy these poems. Comparative titles include Carolyn Forché’s In the Lateness of the World and Mark Wunderlich’s God of Nothingness.
