About Gloss:
"A masquerade ball of velvety self-portraiture and a subversive parade of cultural norms recast as light kink. This book playacts its anxietiesgender roles and group texts, suburban mansions and contractual commitmentsuntil the violence that underpins them is spotlighted on stage."
"Funny, irreverent, and searingly honest, Hazelton dares to explore the obligations that we have with one another and with ourselves. And who wouldnthishouset want to trust the speaker of these poems? In prickly, worldly, and intimate poems, Hazeltonthishouses wit and wisdom urge us to understand beauty in our complicated lives."
"These poems are wise, sexy, well-tuned language machines, full of stinging humor and quick-witted swagger, interrogating the highs and lows of cohabitation and maturation. Simply put, Gloss is masterfula knockout collection I will continue to read, teach, and learn from for years to come."
