Poetry.
LGBT Studies.
With a beauty purged of sweetness, the voices of BUTCHER'S SUGAR sing of the sublime in the debased, violence and desire, the truth of whatever is rank with the carcass of mystery.
Moving from childhood through adulthood, these poems re-inhabit and reclaim myths about the body and the self.
Perhaps one turns to Christ or the pagan gods as an escape from the abject real of the body's stench.
Perhaps to make love to a man is to always make love to the boy hid.
