Butch Geography

BUTCH GEOGRAPHY is the first full-length book by a poet whose award-winning chapbooks celebrating the fluidity of gender have challenged and thrilled readers, and whose powerful, eloquent performances have electrified live audiences across the United States. Kwame Dawes says, "Waite is a pathfinder, charting with disarming honesty, humor, pathos, and willful perplexity the uncertain terrain of gender in ways that shatter assumptions, unsettle easy presumptions, and yet, through the sheer grace of craft . . . open us to the beauty of our strange human enterprise."
