Michael Chang Writes Hot, Fun Poetry

"Other people’s poems they have to say, “I’m here, I’m queer.” There’s this whole big show; whereas, with mine we just get down to business."

Michael Chang’s second full-length collection of poetry, Almanac of Useless Talents, will be published by Clash Books this fall. It follows last year’s Boyfriend Perspective (Really Serious Literature) and anticipates next year’s Synthetic Jungle (Northwestern University Press).

In just a few short years, Michael’s body of work has earned wide recognition for being fun, smart, and hot.
