Poetry

A stunning collection of poetry and photography. This collection speaks mainly of homosexuality and youth. Fantasy fills this collection with magic. These pieces are an emotional stew of melancholic prose, frivolity, sexuality, and love. Intoxicating and hypnotic this will bring you courage even if you are not gay. Adults and Children are all welcome into my imaginary castle built of words.

The most anticipated new American play of the decade, this brilliant work is an emotional, poetic, political epic in two parts: Millennium Approaches and Perestroika. Spanning the years of the Reagan administration, it weaves the lives of fictional and historical characters into a feverish web of social, political, and sexual revelations.

Poetry of rising from ashes, and being queen even after your kingdom falls apart. This diverse collection of 16 poems focuses on seeing a better future, rebellion, homosexuality, ambitions and dreams. With moments of self-acceptance and sorrow at the thought of what used to be a miserable life. Drag Queen is the debut poetry collection written through the eyes of my alter-ego Hermana Alacran.
Includes Poems:
"Homo-Sapien"
"Where Are The Hot Herterosexuals?"
"Faggots, Queers, but Queens"
and "There Is No Love"

A provocative and eye-opening account of growing up gay and Amish in America. Poet James Schwartz combines a mixture of poetry and short stories to describe family troubles, lost love, religion, and even what it's like to take a horse and buggy to a gay nightclub. The Literary Party is an emotional, touching book with implications that extend to any religion or culture where intolerance is prevalent.

This poem was written in 1975, and hidden away for 37 years.

At that time there was no avenue for anything that referred to same sex love.

It was written in a loose iambic pentameter, octave rhyme, as a form of cloaking the subject matter. It was written as a catharsis and for an English class -- the Professor rejected it.

It is a story poem of disaster on a Navy ship, and the display of spiritual love of one man for another.

It is being told by myself. It is what I saw.

Tyler Sutton can run all he wants from his past, but he’s still got himself to contend with. Dark secret dreams of sexual submission continue to haunt the magazine reporter. The embers of his hidden yearnings burst into a bright flame of reality when Tyler meets Clint Darrow, the cowboy poet.

Clint, the foreman on a West Texas bull ranch, hides his dominant sensual nature behind the laconic, quiet persona of a true Texas cowboy. When the pair is thrown together in a search to uncover the culprit of a series of thefts at various local ranches, the connection is immediate and fierce. As they begin to explore their attraction for one another, Clint senses Tyler’s need for sexual surrender. Clint must exert every ounce of self control to keep from pushing Tyler too far, too fast. When passion overtakes caution, the firestorm of desire that erupts between them threatens to burn everything in its path.

Beyond the Nation charts an expansive history of Filipino literature in the U.S., forged within the dual contexts of imperialism and migration, from the early twentieth century into the twenty-first. Martin Joseph Ponce theorizes and enacts a queer diasporic reading practice that attends to the complex crossings of race and nation with gender and sexuality. Tracing the conditions of possibility of Anglophone Filipino literature to U.S. colonialism in the Philippines in the early twentieth century, the book examines how a host of writers from across the century both imagine and address the Philippines and the United States, inventing a variety of artistic lineages and social formations in the process. Beyond the Nation considers a broad array of issues, from early Philippine nationalism, queer modernism, and transnational radicalism, to music-influenced and cross-cultural poetics, gay male engagements with martial law and popular culture, second-generational dynamics, and the relation between reading and revolution. Ponce elucidates not only the internal differences that mark this literary tradition but also the wealth of expressive practices that exceed the terms of colonial complicity, defiant nationalism, or conciliatory assimilation. Moving beyond the nation as both the primary analytical framework and locus of belonging, Ponce proposes that diasporic Filipino literature has much to teach us about alternative ways of imagining erotic relationships and political communities.
