Overview

FINALIST FOR THE LAMBDA LITERARY AWARD IN LESBIAN POETRY A hymn to perversity, a lyric pledge to desire and risk, Glove Money pages through the canon to ""seed its sugar in your dreams."" In this joyful and irreverent exploration of the role of poet-as lover, Sophia Dahlin plays Sappho, O'Hara, romantics and troubadours, assembling a self seaworthy of romance. With humor and a light touch, Glove Money dismisses bioessentialist gatekeeping and expands the lesbian imaginary.

""Poems that veer with sudden tenderness and bustle with delight."" --Peter Myers ""Dahlin's poems are for our time, for our yucky and seductive mouths and lips, and we should all be stealing hours from our lords to revel in it. Somewhere between ancient pastoral tradition and the very present-tense erotic vocabulary of her life as a lover, Dahlin brings enormous musical sensuality, romantic intelligence, and impressive wit in these marvelous poems."" --Brandon Brown, BOMB Magazine

“Poems that veer with sudden tenderness and bustle with delight.” —Peter Myers  ""Dahlin’s poems are for our time, for our yucky and seductive mouths and lips, and we should all be stealing hours from our lords to revel in it. Somewhere between ancient pastoral tradition and the very present-tense erotic vocabulary of her life as a lover, Dahlin brings enormous musical sensuality, romantic intelligence, and impressive wit in these marvelous poems."" —Brandon Brown, BOMB Magazine “Glove Money celebrates friends and lovers, inventing a queer American pastoral whose Sapphic brilliance and subversion lie in just how easily the misbehaved and warmly weird go down.” —Jennifer Soong “I find Sophia Dahlin’s poetry to be gentle yet subtly jarring. Her poems split images away from context, letting them add up to something fresh, snappy, delightful.” —Judy Grahn
