	All Books by Timothy Liu - Author of : Say Goodnight Paperback - 102 pages (April 1998) Copper Canyon Pr; ISBN: 1556590857 "Gay Poetry; Liu's third collection of mostly imagistic verse discovers the sacred in earthly things, the poet having lost his faith long ago, as he reveals in "Apostasy" which finds Christianity "a monolith/that grew too heavy." The weight bears against the poet's homosexuality, which forms the subject of Liu's more narrative verse as he cruises the beaches of Cape Cod, stalks the video-porn booths of Manhattan's Chelsea, and marches in pride in Washington. Frank sexual poems meant to shock at least to shock the poet's father describe his lover's coprophilia, their golden showers, "fisting" at bars, and an anus that speaks to the poet, "another rice queen."
