The Go-Go Boy Sonnets: Men of the New York Club Scene

Listed in Contemporary Authors, A Directory of American Ports and Fiction Writers, and The International Who’s Who in Poetry, Edmund Miller has published several previous books of poetry, most recently Leavings (Northport: Birnham Wood, 1995), and a book of stories, Night Times (London: Prowler, 2005). And he has another unrelated poetry book, The Screwdriver’s Apprentice, under consideration. In a review of a reprint of his Fucking Animals: A Book of Poems (1975; Saratoga: Starbooks/Florida Literary Foundation, 1994), George Klawitter wrote in The James White Review, "This is quite a wonderful little book. If you had been hearing about it during the last two decades and wondered if what you heard was true, wonder no more. Buy the book" (12.1 winter 1995). On 22 July 1997 host Eny Hansen did a half-hour interview with the author about the project in progress on the Manhattan Cable television show Exotica. Some of the sonnets and accompanying photographs from the work appeared in a Hillwood Art Museum exhibition on "Reflected Images: The Illustration of Poetry" (02 March to 12 April 1998). The author has also presented sonnets from the project together with photographs at featured readings at the Barnes & Noble Bookstore in Manhasset, at the Different Light Bookstore in Manhattan, on the C.W. Post Campus, and elsewhere.
