Espresso Shots & Forget-me-nots Selected Poems

<b>"some memories are too meaningful to let wither away.<br>some memories are too bitter to be worth remembering, <br>and some memories are worth preserving even if they are."</b> <p>In <i>espresso shots & forget-me-nots</i>, what's old is new again as<b> trans poet Parker Lee</b> weaves together a collection of poetry, prose, and aphorisms consisting of selected work from three of her previously published books, along with new and unreleased work. Divided into four parts, <i>espresso shots & forget-me-nots </i>is a story of <b>heartbreak and love</b>, a story of <b>broken</b><b> relationships</b>, a story of <b>figuring out and embracing one's queer identity</b>, and a story of <b>healing </b>even when it all seems hopeless. <b>In a special foreword penned by Parker's spouse and fellow poet, amanda lovelace</b>, <i>espresso shots & forget-me-nots</i> is eloquently described as <b><i>"a collection of memories"</i></b> that capture <b>"exactly what it's like to be so delicately, frustratingly, & complicatedly human."</b> <p>This is the <b>definitive </b>way to experience Parker Lee's earlier work, revised, expanded upon, and pieced back together as it was originally meant to be read.
