Tea is a series of poems about survival. The first section consists of portraits of young men, friends or former lovers, who have contracted or have died of AIDS. Pushing into the margins of culture as well as of the page, the author combines all manner of subject and tone to create a work part memory play, part episodic novel, part funny pages--even part dance.
