Hover

<b>Poetry and prose that takes on multiple forms to celebrate queer polyamorous families.</b><br>  <br> Liza Flum's <i>Hover</i> focuses on queer polyamorous families considering the ways people in radical family structures are both highly visible and erased. From hummingbirds to stars historical records and cemetery monuments Flum searches for images to represent lives and loves like her own and to find lasting traces of queer and chosen family. In the poetic lexicon of <i>Hover</i> hummingbirds become emblems of ungraspable survival and vitality while records on paper and in stone afford enduring though limited representations.<br>  <br> The book explores sexuality love reproductive choice and infertility in sonnets and expansive prose meditations. Linked stanzas which act as little rooms suggest the intermingling of bedrooms doctor's offices and hospital rooms. The many forms in this collection claim space both on the page and in poetic discourse to make the intimate outwardly visible.<br>
