Poetry. LGBT Studies. MYSTERIOUS ACTS BY MY PEOPLE is a fearless exploration of love, grief, violence, and humor. Wetlaufer documents the search for comfort and deliverance in language rich with materiality and great pleasure. The lyrical vivacity of these poems reveals a world where bodies are capable of miracles and deterioration, tremendous loss, and grace. Proudly published by Sibling Rivalry Press.

Call Me by My Other Name is a fierce, unforgettable book about bodies and desire. Told in three voices--two historical figures, and a meta-poetic third voice that connects past to present--Wetlaufer's story weaves a brutal narrative of how we are taught to masquerade queer gender and yearning. Deeply affecting, the inventive language of these crucial, well-crafted poems transports at the same time as it transcends, embracing ambiguity, balancing intimacy and reserve. This much-anticipated second book by the Lambda Award-winning writer demonstrates that poetry, at its best, is capable of deliverance.

Using a balance of lyric and narrative poetry to capture the fluid, impressionistic, even confused nature of this relationship and experience, these poems examine questions of identity, gender, sexuality and marriage dynamics; what we choose to record for posterity, what gets ignored.
