In gay boy poems, Xavier Jake turns shame, desire, humour and survival into a sharp first collection that refuses to look away. Moving through queer identity, sex, substance use, body politics and mental health, these poems are by turns obscene, tender, funny and devastating. Written with an uncensored voice and a restless eye for the rituals of gay life, this collection asks what it means to perform a self, lose a self, and still insist on being seen.
