A beautifully written, thought-provoking, and at times very sad reflection on queerness, homophobia, and shame, religion, spirituality, and mental health, and how these factors intertwine.

Very interesting and honest perspective about an experience that’s common but not often discussed

Torn between 4 or 4.5 stars - more detailed review to come. A really powerful and moving memoir.
Really enjoyed this despite having minimal contextual knowledge about the poets and religion that are central to the memoir. The writing is absolutely beautiful and reflective and I love how history is integrated into this; my main critique is that the storytelling felt a bit fragmented and oddly paced. I think I would have appreciated more bridges between sections so the gaps in time didn’t feel so abrupt.
