In this sobering collection, Benedict's third published work, he confronts his history of traumas by bluntly making them the topic of discussion. Through pained poetry and raw self-portraiture, he documents the ugly side of gay adolescence through sour tasting themes like sexual violation, abuse, virginity, dirty desires, and failed love affairs. Brooding and dramatic as it may seem, the works presented do everything but put on a show - rather, they paint an honest, mature portrait of how it feels for your body and heart to be broken.
