At the Intercontinental Hotel: and Other Poems

Poet Austin Nieli’s newest collection features his distinctive love and lust for life, by which he enshrines the sacred sexual principals he finds in the contradictions of his everyday existence– which is still much more exciting than most of ours. In the titular poem, which he wrote during overnight security shifts at a hotel of the same name, he is at once his seven-year old self, his grandfather, a lover, his boss, in trouble, as exalted and damned– drunk and sober– as he ever was. Meet him there, at the hotel, a quarter past three, and he might just give you a discount on this book.
