Mosquito by Alex Lemon
Lyrical and explosive, this debut book of poetry explores Alex Lemon's experiences as a brain surgery patient. Mosquito blends autobiography and poetry, bearing witness to a young man's journey through serious illness and his emergence into a world where eroticism, hope, and wisdom allow him to see life in a wholly new way. Mosquito is a resilient meditation that is as much Zen as it is explosive, as clinical as it is philosophical and lyrical.Alex Lemon is the author of Happy: A Memoir, Feverland: A Memoir in Shards, and the poetry collections Mosquito, Hallelujah Blackout, Fancy Beasts, and The Wish Book, as well as the poetry collections Mosquito, Hallelujah Blackout, Fancy Beasts, and The Wish Book. Esquire, The Best American Poetry 2008, AGNI, Gulf Coast, the Kenyon Review, and Tin House, among others, have published his work. He has received a Poetry Literary Fellowship from the National Endowment for the Arts, and he routinely publishes and reviews for a variety of media sites. He teaches at Texas Christian University and lives in Fort Worth with his wife and two children.
