Out & About
“Stobierski is a master of craft. His poems speak to everyone.”
—Pat Mottola, author of After Hours
Dancehall
A queer love story in five acts
Dancehall follows the arc of a relationship from its earliest days to its final, somber conclusion.
In these 60 poems, you will join the speaker as they navigate the highs and the lows, the tranquility and the turbulence, the euphoria and the despair that comes with giving yourself fully to another.
Whether straight or queer, young or old, single or happily partnered, these poems are for anyone who has ever loved or longed for another.
