Poetry. LGBT Studies. Winner of 1998 CSU Poetry Center Prize. "This stunning book is fiercely alive, and awake to the self as both singular and inextricably part of the whole--to the body as one in a field of yearning and failing human forms. 'Delle Avenue' is--and I don't say this lightly--a great poem of city life, of the confluence of memory and history and voice which city streets are. Dan Bellm's genuine authority and his vulnerable, almost physical presence on the page lead us, somehow, to connection with what is larger, more ongoing, than any single person is; he sings the anxious and lovely story of his place and time."--Mark Doty
