@rnv I loved What Work Is. I’ve never read Tom Clark. I just finished reading Jazz Moon, by Joe Okonkwo. It’s a novel, but it’s about a poet: a gay African American poet coming to terms with himself and his sexuality in 1920s Harlem and Paris. It’s really well done, and I like the way Okonkwo captures the relationship between the main character’s art and the process of coming to terms with himself.
