When there's only one document to be found in the archive, can our misheard or half-remembered family stories be enough? \u003ci\u003eMy Great-Grandfather Danced Ballet\u003c\/i\u003e is a daring, erotic, and humorous exploration of queer longing and Jewish possibility at the turn of two centuries. In a captivating series of narrative poems, Misha Solomon entwines an alternate memoir of his great-grandfather in pre-Holocaust Romania with a contemporary gay life in Montreal.
