<DIV><p>“Tea writes with a raw-hearted, wry but wide-eyed ebullience, rendering dyke bohemia with intense, gritty, glittering romanticism.”—<i>The San Francisco Bay Guardian</i></p><p>Before penning her contemporary classic <i>Valencia</i>, Tea wrote wonderfully honest narrative poems, which she self-published in small editions, now collected here for the first time. A <i>San Francisco Chronicle</i> Best Book of 2004 and a Lambda Literary Award finalist.</p></DIV>
