Poetry. LGBT Studies. Each poem in FORTUNATE LIGHT is an exquisite construction: sharply observed, carefully written, transcendent, and transformative. Bergman is one of our best poets, working at the height of his powers. As poetry editor for The Gay and Lesbian Review Worldwide, Bergman has helped innumerable queer poets find an audience for their work, but his real gift to readers, however, is his own poetry. Bergman's poems alternate between tenderness and sexuality, nostalgia and humor, delight and surprise. FORTUNATE LIGHT will captivate Bergman's current fans and win him many more.
