As he was turning forty, Walt Whitman wrote twelve poems in a small handmade book he entitled "Live Oak, With Moss."

They were also Whitman's most adventurous explorations of the theme of same-sex love, composed decades before the word "homosexual" came into use. Whitman never published the cycle. Instead he cut them up, rearranged them, and hid them in...

Au commencement, un enfant se phagocyte, puis se fait ange, parce que né avec un sexe en point d'interrogation. Cet ange « trash » expérimente la mutation et accouche d'une poésie non à l'index, mais au doigt d'honneur, qui farfouille dans vos fantasmes les plus honteux à la recherche d'un orgasme.

But while, I was sitting in my tiny apartment for months on end, I wrote. And, wrote. And, wrote some more. And, kept writing. Poetry and short stories. Some made it into journals and anthologies. Some were read aloud and acted out by me and my friends.
2020 may have been a year that will go down in infamy,...
