“Myth is history in drag, Bradford Tice reminds us in What the Night Numbered, a seamless novella-in-poems that recasts the Stonewall era as Greek mythology. With the bawdiness of Chaucer and the commitment to character of Browning, Tice conducts an uncanny pageant of empathetic and vividly-imagined monologues, each speaker transfigured like the breathing of someone hidden / who wants to be found.” —James Shea, author of The Lost Novel

Praise for What the Night Numbered:

“Merging the myth of Cupid and Psyche with the events of the 1969 Stonewall Riots that jump-started the gay and lesbian civil rights movement, What the Night Numbered is a masterful collection…Tice offers a multiplicity of voices to showcase what the merging of poetry and history can achieve. These poems whisper to one another, pull at each other’s hands, and ultimately create their own world within the borders of the written page. A brilliant book.” —Charlotte Pence, author of Code

Praise for Rare Earth:

“These poems are illuminated by discoveries—of the natural world, the mineral world, the psychic world—the worlds of identity inside us all, haunted as we are by devils who ask us to take another look at all we hold sacred. With these poems, Tice has learned to see these worlds clearly and sometimes painfully, and to ask the toughest of questions about them. A brilliant, vivid first book.” —Arthur Smith, author of The Fortunate Era
