About this title

Synopsis:

''Charlie Bondhus, in the poems of What We Have Learned to Love, updates the lineage of Whitman and Ginsberg with energy, passion, and confession. The verve of these poems is palpable.'' - Kenny Fries, author of The History of My Shoes and the Evolution of Darwin's Theory and Body, Remember

Hot yet sensitive and sometimes funny love poems by a rising star among gay poets. What We Have Learned to Love is the winner of the 2009 Stonewall Chapbook Competition. Author Charlie Bundhus has two additional books forthcoming: How the Boy Might See It: Poems (Pecan Grove Press, Oct. '09) and Monsters and Victims: A Novella (Gothic Press, March '10).

About the Author:

Charlie Bondhus won his first prize for poetry in the eighth grade, after which he spent four years writing nihilistic high school verse in the style of Baudelaire. Since then, he has earned his MFA in creative writing from Goddard College and is currently pursuing a Ph.D. at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst, where he teaches writing and literature. In addition to poetry, he writes and publishes fiction and literary criticism. His full-length poetry book How the Boy Might See It, which was a finalist for the 2007 Blue Light Press First Book Award, will be out in 2010, along with his novella Monsters and Victims. Charlie currently resides in Chicopee, Massachusetts, with his longtime partner, their two cats, and a very spirited Madagascar Day gecko.
