Today, I had a virtual moment with Pose creator Steven Canals and I’m floored—my first poetry book, “Pier Queen” was a source of inspiration for the pilot. 🖤

That little chapbook from ’97 still echoes.

In ’97, Parker Posey was the indie queen grabbing coffee at A Different Light. I was passing out poetry at gay clubs. Told her I was making a chapbook—no agent, no clue. She gave me a quote for “Pier Queen.”

We’ll always have Paris…burning.
