Lonely Christopher
DEATH & DISASTER SERIES
by Lonely Christopher
Lonely Christopher’s debut poetry collection was a controversial cris de coeur that attracted scorn and praise on its initial release for an unsparing portrayal of a young alcoholic gay writer struggling to find meaning in the loss of his mother to cancer.
IN A JANUARY WOULD
by Lonely Christopher
Lonely Christopher dramatically ended a romantic relationship in Père Lachaise Cemetery on Christmas Day. This intense and trenchant verse series, written about the crisis from one January to the next, uses poetry as durational art. In a January Would tracks a heartbreak and the poet’s ensuing attempt at recovery over the course of a rough year, half of which he spent homeless.
THE RESIGNATION
by Lonely Christopher
Lonely Christopher explores questions of identity, ethics, and power through the machinations of textuality in this bold new collection that updates formalist and conceptual practices to provide a searing, comical, provocative, and ultimately humanist critique of how we use and abuse language to form and enforce culture.
