Inspiring and important in the current political climate. A powerful reflection on the gay experience. A new poetic voice poised to cement itself among the greats.
In his debut poetry collection, Ameer Drane invites readers into his experience of navigating the world as a gay Black man from the United States. Gay Poem explores the often unspoken realities of gay hookup culture, the racism and fetishization faced by Black men within and outside the gay community, the roots of internalized homophobia, the importance of gay men having solidarity with all LGBTQ+ people, and the process of releasing shame to cultivate pride in the era of hookup apps and social media. Divided into three acts, this poetry book reflects on the intersections of identity, race, sexuality, self-acceptance, mental health, and American politics.
Reviews
Gay Poem is an amazing collection of poems and prose exploring the unique intersection of being gay and Black in current times. Ameer Drane is a voice to be reckoned with. If you're already into poetry, you'll love his work; if you're getting back into poetry, you'll find something in this book that will resonate with you and leave you wanting to read and hear more.
