Poems to Stage Dive to

"A vivid celebration of queerness and a mosh pit of self-discovery."

-nat raum, editor-in-chief of fifth wheel press and author of with gasoline

The poetry chapbook Poems to Stage Dive examines the journey of self-acceptance and queer joy through the often hostile environment of hardcore punk music and live shows. Poems to Stage Dive to captures the exhaustion and exhilaration of the pit, of stage-diving, and falling to be caught. It is a tough and tender ode to reveling in the anonymity and tacit pacts of the pit alongside the simultaneous brutality and blessing of queerness.
