Queer Dream Triptych2023

“Frames from Donald Fox's psychedelic Omega  (1970)—that ‘deals with the death and rebirth of mankind’—are newly suffused with a poem written by the filmmaker during a period of personal transformation related to sexuality, chronic illness, familial trauma, and queer ancestry.” —MIX NYC

“A highly articulated, accelerated book moving in kinetic space... full of delightful consonants, ones that feel medieval and modern simultaneously. [Reminiscent] of the work of Pat O'Neil and Barbara Hammer, true craftspeople of the avant-garde... powerful, evocative, and sensual.” —Lynne Sachs, filmmaker and poet

Queer Dream Triptych combines my original poem "Queer Dream Triptych" (first published in Yes Poetry on July 27, 2020) and remixed found footage from Donald Fox's 1970 film Omega, which is in the public domain.
