Writing Your Name on the Glass, by Jim Whiteside

Writing Your Name on the Glass reckons with the duration of memory and the peculiarities of the present, tackling what it means to be both beloved and also subject to love’s grasp. Joining the poetics of the queer south, Jim Whiteside furthers the conversation about identity, place, and desire in contemporary queer relationships. These elegant and precise poems document the process of reassembling broken pieces and finding one’s voice again.

Jim Whiteside is the author of a chapbook, Writing Your Name on the Glass (Bull City Press, 2019) and a former Wallace Stegner Fellow. His poems have appeared in The New York Times, POETRY, Ploughshares, and Boston Review. Originally from Cookeville, Tennessee, he lives in Brooklyn, New York. 

Christian is also featured in Mid/South Sonnets.
