Hiatus for Best Gay Poetry/Best Lesbian Poetry Series Due to the ongoing and unresolved issues with Lethe Press regarding the co-publication of BEST GAY POETRY 2008 and BEST LESBIAN POETRY 2008, A Midsummer Night's Press regretfully announces that BEST GAY POETRY 2009 and BEST LESBIAN POETRY 2009 are likewise canceled. We had hoped to resolve the legal and financial issues involved, so as to be able to publish these volumes, but that has not happened. A Midsummer Night's Press remains strongly committed to the BEST GAY POETRY and BEST LESBIAN POETRY series. However, they are on indefinite hiatus while the legal and financial issues involved are being resolved. In the meantime, A Midsummer Night's Press will continue to publish single-author collections and other projects.

Handmade Love I believe that there are two kinds of love in this world: inherited and handmade. Yes, we inherit love but my people, my people make love by hand. From “Handmade Love” In her first collection, Julie R. Enszer offers poems that are as unabashedly erotic as they are unabashedly feminist. Whether responding to queer cultural icons, fantasizing about sex, or mourning illness and loss, these poems are sweet and sultry, fierce and tender. From demonstrations on the streets to bedroom romps, these smart and sexy poems interweave narrative and lyrical moments with the political and the sensuous. Handmade Love renders a world that delights in the lives of gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender people and tells queer life stories sublimely and generously. Julie R. Enszer has published poems in Room of One’s Own, Long Shot, Feminist Studies, Bridges, So to Speak, Suspect Thoughts, Windy City Times, and many other journals. She has a MFA in poetry from the University of Maryland and is working on her PhD in Women’s Studies. HANDMADE LOVE by Julie R. Enszer Body Language 05 ISBN-13: 978-0-9794208-5-6 ISBN-10: 0-9794208-5-7 Poetry/Lesbian Studies 64 pages/perfect bound Pub Date: 1 April 2010 $11.95 FREE SHIPPING ON U.S. ORDERS!
