Poetry. Nightboat Books, 2023. Paperback, 240 pages. 8.9" x 5.91"

From the press: Collected for the first time, four landmark works of queer experimental poetry by the reclusive cult poet David Melnick.

David Melnick’s Nice: Collected Poems spans twenty crucial years of gay life and experimentation with poetic form, bringing together four masterworks of American literature: Eclogs (1967-70), ten episodes in the urban afterlife of the pastoral; PCOET (1972), written in an unknown tongue, verse for a world that’s yet to be; Men in Aida (1983-85), Melnick’s masterpiece, a giddy epic of queer community; and A Pin’s Fee (1988), a backward glance and elegy, a cry of pain, a howl of anger.
