Publisher's Summary: On a trans-continental trip to receive an award, poet Michele Calo is faced with life altering questions. Encountering past loves on this trip that bring up old memories, and new loves that reignite forgotten passions, Michele is forced to answer the most important question of all--what moves her? With humor, courage, and a life filled with poetry, Calo examines how growing up as a black, bisexual, academic means more than just establishing an identity. She learns that it means looking beyond her experiences and into the connections that have always sustained her.
