Your Dead body is My Welcome Mat by Steven Reigns

Your Dead Body is My Welcome Mat

Steven Reigns desires to use his art to heal his life. The writings, which describe early memories, have healed some of my own sorrows! Thank you, Steven.

—Linda Montano, found of the Art/Life Institute and author of Art in Everyday Life, and Performance Artists Talk in the Eighties

Your Dead Body is My Welcome Mat is a beautifully intense book revealing the furious past of a survivor. Steven Reigns’ strong words also move beyond victimhood and take us to phone conversations, kissing in a convertible, working in a porn store, working in a bar, wearing polyester, and reclaiming one’s life. People need to dominate their own lives and take control. In this book, Steven Reigns has done just that and set a wonderful precedent for our generation.

—Misstress Formika

Brutal, honest, and heartbreakingly beautiful Steven Reigns’ first collection of poetry and prose is a tour de force not to be missed. Trancending labels while at the same time offering a gift to the communities he represents; youth, gay male and survivor. Your Dead Body is My Welcome Mat is a brilliant and courageous act of truth telling and art. This book will break your heart and then pick up the pieces and put it back together again. Steven Reigns is a wonderful new voices, give thanks he’s here!
