Confessional lyric poetry by Jeffrey Round, an award-winning LGBTQ+ author. The collection reveals love as a tapestry of erotic ecstasy, heartbreak, rueful burning, tender secret, and sometimes cold emptiness. Focusing on lovers, close friends, and his own father, Round also explores teen and adult suicide, gay bashing, and hustlers of lost dreams.
