Listen to me talk about poetry on the so...poetry? podcast!Â
On Caligula’s Playhouse:
"Stephen Zerance's poetry is the work of a wild original, and the poems in this collection--whose reveries call from madness' ledge--exhibit a restraint and artistry of classical proportions. Tonight, in Rome, the gorgeous ruin of the emperors lies strewn beside the everyday. In CALIGULA'S PLAYHOUSE a certain formal harmony meets our world's deepening dread. Zerance is a formidable poet and these poems are genius in their spare, unflinching gaze into the bath house of the self." -Â David Keplinger
Now you've done it--
kicked a chair at the ex, lost the keys, burned the sweater, broke the glass, the dirty dishes stack higher. No returned phone calls, messages, door never buzzed, only happy when it buzzes and buzzes.
If you won the lottery, things would change. Things would be different. You’d stop biting your nails. You’d bite just one. Maybe. Eliminate crow’s feet. Scrub the dirt out of pores. Clean. If you won, you’d flee the neighborhood
for another. Begin the next procession, the next trial. You’d walk it until you cycle back, until you didn’t fuck up. Until the next man you loved stays. If you won
the lottery, everything would be different. Nothing would change. The door bell would ring as it does, you’d answer the door to what? Make it up. Make it scary.
—Stephen Zerance

'My skin--deaf,' the narrator relates, as his family uses the famous Christmas Gift Guilt Trip to force him to conform to their notion of the masculine body. The poem is awkward, familiar, heartbreaking.
