The Bare Thing by Len Lukowski Nuzhat Bukhari and her reflections on theIn The Bare Thing Len Lukowski delves into queer desire in an urgent, rough and surprisingly playful fashion. Lukowski, through a wickedly subversive sense of humor, satirizes the plot of Notting Hill, laments an unused dildo, and, in a lyrical flourish, compares his lovers to the sky in a Van Gogh painting. The poems celebrate illicit desire and the male bodys vulnerability; transitioning, taking risks and opening the window to an unseen world.
