Description
Summary:"Painting a vivid and fraught portrait of the North Bronx, Orange unflinchingly highlights and confronts the contradictions at the heart of love, divorce, gender, religion, and community. Through narrative poems and innovative forms, Orange explores the ripple effects of reconciling a lineage of masculinity and queerness, unearthing truth from within lies, and grappling with the complexity of familial influence. Yet, family expands well beyond the nuclear as poems center relationships between friends, cousins, teachers, and partners. Orange ultimately argues that truth resembles color, something so real, yet elusive and impossible to prove." --
