DIG

(Poetry / LGBT Studies) Bryan Borland's third poetry collection examines what it means to dig―to undertake the intense labor of unearthing the personal/political/artistic self and embracing the consequences of that knowledge. These poems assert that to dig is to reveal the bedrock on which we may rebuild ourselves; to discover the beauty and reward of life buried deep within us―no matter how many layers of earth we need to overturn. DIG is a 2017 Stonewall Honor Book in Literature as honored by the American Library Association and a 2017 Lambda Literary Award Finalist in Gay Poetry.
