Honey & Gasoline

By Dusty B

"This is not a book about surviving. It is a book about what it costs."

Honey & Gasoline is a raw, unflinching poetry collection about growing up in the wrong house, surrounded by hate that had no name, no reason, and no end. It traces the journey of a boy who learned to shrink, go quiet, and hide his true self just to get through the day.

It explores the deep isolation of making yourself easy to ignore, and the profound grief for the boy you had to bury to make it out alive. But beyond the wreckage, this collection is a testament to the duality of survival. It is about the gasoline-the rage and the refusal that kept a fire burning in the dark -and the honey-the miraculous ability to stay gentle and hold onto your softness despite it all.

For the one who never got a ceremony. For the one who still walks past mirrors. For the one still figuring it out.

You are allowed to exist. You always were. They were so goddamn wrong about you.
