These poems are a means of finding language in youth, gathering experience in pubescence, and serving as testament to survival in a world that demands silences throughout queer life.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThese poems are an archive which maps physical desire and emotional needs while pushing past dogma and self-hating.
