Book excerpt: Poetry. LGBTQIA Studies. TRACING THE UNSPOKEN is the English-language debut of an award-winning Slovenian poet and translator, which dares to openly speak (or write) the name of gay desire, in these compact, precise poems in prose. "In TRACING THE UNSPOKEN, Milan Selj has compiled a ledger of obsession: by applying language to shapeless silence, the individual tries to make sense of desire. In these fragments of narrative, the tacit, the implicit, the unspoken and the unspeakable are all eventually given voice. Passion is blocked by indifference, indifference unblocked by passion. And somehow love, once put into words, survives to thrive. The process is compelling, the expression eloquent."--Gregory Woods "Instants of great sexual and emotional tension, caught in needle-sharp language of utter clarity and purity."--Christopher Whyte
