Gathered in this collection are the gay-themed stories I had written in the last 30 years. It looks like a slim collection, but I had taken out the stories that no longer worked for me. Either the story’s movement is too fixed, like a narrow unerringly hitting its destination; or the characters are too wooden, alive only because they are mouth pieces of some cause or other.

In short, I collected the stories that still amused me, made me smile, or made me want to turn the page to relearn what happened to the characters: desire, doom, or damnation?

A quartet of poems in four separate volumes forms shards of emotions and experiences, nuancing a life lived at the margins of conventional gender archetypes. Each volume contains a unique look at queer desire; together, they assemble slivers of manifold expressions covering themes from personal transgression to collective emancipation.
