A gay poet's collection carries the reader along a lyrical journey through the local color of Chicago's boystown with its dancefloor romances and surreal, bath house encounters. Apellasios' style blends classical and contemporary elements, coupling traditional sonnet structure and allusions to mythology with onomatopoeia, internal rhyme, and metaphors extended to the godlike recipients of the writer's admiration. The poet paints pages with the details of affection and immortal moments that would have died if they had not been bound in this collection. The pieces show a shift from the writer's protest fiction into lyrical compassion for self and society.
