The Bare Thing by Len Lukowski Nuzhat Bukhari of mourning and celebration: poemsIn The Bare Thing Len Lukowski delves into queer desire in an urgent, rough and surprisingly playful fashion. Lukowski, through a wickedly subversive sense of humor, satirizes the plot of Notting Hill, laments an unused dildo, and, in a lyrical flourish, compares his lovers to the sky in a Van Gogh painting. The poems celebrate illicit desire and the male bodys vulnerability; transitioning, taking risks and opening the window to an unseen world.
