Description

Feed the Beast by Pádraig Ó Tuama is a powerful collection of poems that explore the intersection of sexuality and religion. The author's personal journey with "gay cure" therapies and exorcisms serves as a catalyst for his search for language that can offer safety and hope. Through a range of forms and voices, O Tuama examines registers of rage and resilience, from tenderness to fear. A striking erasure poem responds to the Vatican's statement on same-sex unions, while other poems in the collection are presented in parable, narrative, or song. The result is a nuanced and necessary exploration of the human experience. This book offers a hopeful and honed portrayal of the complexities of identity and faith, one that is both deeply personal and universally relatable.
