Moving through iconic and imagined landscapes, \u003ci\u003eAnybody\u003c\/i\u003e confronts the strangeness of being alive and of being a restlessly gendered, queer, emotive body. Wherever the poet turns—the cruising spaces of Fire Island, a city lake, a Greek island, a bodega-turned-coffee-shop—he finds the charge of boundedness and signification, the implications of what it means to be a \u003ci\u003ethis\u003c\/i\u003e instead of a \u003ci\u003ethat\u003c\/i\u003e. Witty, tender, and original, these poems pierce the constructs that define our lives.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n                        \u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n                        \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAri Banias\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of \u003ci\u003eAnybody\u003c\/i\u003e, a finalist for the Kate Tufts Discovery Award and the PEN Center USA Award for Poetry.
