Tricky Serum: An Elixir of Poems

by Dan Stone

Intoxication is your process. Be the drink you pour, the potent sip that keeps the dream dreaming. As suggested by the title, Lambda Literary Award finalist Dan Stone's first collection of poems address the tricky prospect of elixirs--the quest for the substance of our dreams, the magic potion for fulfilling what we hold to be our fondest and often most elusive desires. The poems are intended to read as a progression, a journey through the process of seeking, finding, and relinquishing our convictions about what we need or want from an ''other'' and from ourselves--about waking up, or not--from some of the dreams we dream about the only life we can save.
