Love 420: High on Romance: A Love Poem a Day for 420 Days

by Crist Chrysler

Crist Chrysler, a collegiate lacrosse player in a long-distance relationship with his boyfriend from high school after they ended up at different colleges in neighboring states, wrote a love poem for his boyfriend every day that they were apart for over a year and a half. The fact that these poems were never meant to be shared outside the boys' relationship means that they are written with total candor. A raw and sometimes unsettling window into the private romantic, emotional, and sexual life of a young gay couple. A fascinating object of study, not just for the many issues of sexuality, sex, gender roles, and romance that are raised, but also for people to see the evolution of a poet's writing over a year and a half of practice every day.
