Description: With candor, Blaine Marchand traces the development of his male identity from childhood sexual explorations and institutional ritual abuse through marriage and fatherhood to a discovery of gay sexuality and a celebration of male love. At times painfully self-conscious and at other times wildly uninhibited, Marchand's poetry sings the body electric at a pitch we have seldom heard since Walt Whitman's gay verse.
