Fiction Poetry
Tory Dent's is a voice like no other. Her use of language
is virtuosic, complex, and plangent. These are daring poems
that also dare the reader. HIV positive, Dent writes out of
her own experience and profound refusal to look away or
suspend feeling or turn from love. When her first book of
poems, What Silence Equals, appeared in 1993, it was
recognized as "immediately one of the great, necessary
books to come out of the AIDS crisis, flinging its
challenge in the face of death." With HIV, Mon Amour she
moves further into the whirlwind -- as witness, lover, and
observer.
