“Intimate and immediate, Sex Camel pulses with the lyric virtuosity we’ve come to expect from Muggs Fogarty, a vibrant and singular voice forged by page and stage. These poems dance seamlessly through a sacred rage and a hard-earned love – precise and embodied in every stanza. Even in the most barren moments, Sex Camel is never alone: draped in kinship and influence, invoking persona, complex form, queer history, and a sonic precision sharp enough to transform a single image over and over again. Working with great constraint, Sex Camel walks into a desert and builds poems so alive, they become their own oasis. This is a tender meditation on presence and absence, confession and secret, and holding tight and being held in the aftermath of violence. Oscillating between lines in impeccable staccato and lush narrative akin to prosaic song, Sex Camel is a collection you won’t turn away from. The only way this book could be any better is if Fogarty sat next to me to read every shining phrase aloud, word by word.”

—Desireé Dallagiacomo, author of SINK (Button Poetry, 2019)
