YOU ARE AN AMBIGUOUS PRONOUN
K.M. Lighthouse

“You are an ambiguous pronoun is a high dive into the gender fluid and what it means to love in that fluid.”

—RJ Walker, author of An Elegy for My Elegies


“‘Strip me down / to nothing / and no one so I go / and come as I please,’ says K. M. Lighthouse in you are an ambiguous pronoun, inviting the reader to withdraw from the world of the singular and enter an arena of multiplicity. In this book, you will make phone calls when you know no one’s home, feel a tug in your own heart when you pull on another’s, and become both curator and patron in the museum of the self. All that is and all that isn’t merge in Lighthouse’s poetry, creating space for the reader to dissolve into nothing and become everything.”

​—Caroline Wilcox Reul, translator of Who Lives

Andra Vltavín (formerly K. M. Lighthouse) is the author of Body Until Light, Time Counts Backward from Infinity, and two chapbooks of poetry. They have been published in many journals, including Toasted Cheese, About Place, and High Priestesses of Poetry, and were a winner of the 2021 DiBiase poetry contest. The poet is very involved in activism and is learning how to create better systems for people to belong to than patriarchy, capitalism, and white-body supremacy. They lead writing workshops; facilitate healing touch rituals; and believe that art, poetry, and aesthetics are forms of divinity. They live the revolutions of queerness and polyamory and are very happily settled with a nesting partner, two bunnies, and a spinning wheel at their home in Portland, OR.
