Zicatela
Publisher: FootHills Publishing
My poetry is about place and desire, about the place of desire in the self, about the way place configures desire, about the way the objects of desire are always conjoined to the particularities of location—whether that location be the Rocky Mountains, the beaches of Mexico, the slums of Nairobi, our backyards, our churches, our imagined heroes.
The Monkey Cages
Publisher: Lethe Press
In the summer of 1955, sixteen-year-old Tommy Cadigan finds himself helpless in the face of desire, especially when the man that wears the face is his high school swimming coach, a young Korean War veteran who is still recovering from receiving a “blue ticket” discharging him from the military because of his homosexuality. Unsure if his infatuation is returned, Tommy distracts himself with the attention of a local bully, who hustles older men at night besides a decrepit zoo in Boise’s park. Tommy soon finds himself in the midst of a scandal that threatens to ignite the entire town…and his life will never be the same.

The Sharon Kowalski Case
Paperback: 318 pages
Publisher: University Press of Kansas (May 20, 2003)
While car-crash victim Sharon Kowalski lay comatose in the hospital, battle lines were drawn between her parents and her lesbian companion Karen Thompson, initiating a nearly decade-long struggle over the guardianship of Kowalski. The ensuing litigation became a rallying point for gays and lesbians frustrated by laws and social stigmas that treated them as second-class citizens. Considered the most compelling case of his lifetime by the late Tom Stoddard, former executive director of the Lambda Legal Defense Fund, the Kowalski legal saga also resonated deeply among AIDS patients who worried that they too might be legally deprived of their partners’ care.
