A landmark collection of poems by Bambi Lake, the beloved (and bad-mouthed) icon of San Franciscoâs counterculture. Bambi Lake was a trans chanteuse performer, provocateur, and countercultural darling of the â70s, and subsequent decades. âThe Glamorous Life follows me around,â she wrote, and sang about in her ballad âThe Golden Age of Hustlersâ (later popularized by Justin Vivian Bond). Her life in San Franciscoâ"including being on the fringes of the Cockettes, and a member of the adjacent Angels of Lightâ"was âsort of legendary,â sort of âsweet, sticky, nasty,â and always precarious, lived in spite of addiction, homelessness, and the horrors that came from chasing and surviving her own desires. Here are her poems, long out of print, that wear âburgundy velvet jezebel brasâ to seduce âfatally heteroâ men, detailing the cabaret of desire amidst social, cultural, and political change. âI am Beauty,â she writes, âand the world dissolves.âThe collection includes a series of interviews by August Bernadicou, and a foreword by Brontez Purnell.
