Clean [Paperback]

From the basement / of that suburban church with its sad paint / job in Texas to an old drag queens parlor, that bazaar of flounce, chintz, feathers, Clean, the award-winning collection by David J. Daniels, tears back the curtain of life to expose gorgeousness and grit. These poems pay homage to the addict, the grandmother, the closeted, and the lover, to the dead, the dying, and the living who refuse to die.

Clean explores the disorder of lifelove, addiction, sex, pain, religionand discovers a tarnished grace
