Editorial : About the Author Scotty Zollars is a middle-aged librarian, dad, grandpa and fiancé. He is part of the out late but great crowd in the LGBTQ community, after being married for over thirty years. Scotty had written poetry since he was a pre-teen. Now, he turned to poetry as a way to work through the issues of his life. This helped him to see the issues, to face them and to deal with them. The spiritual side of Scotty comes through in his poetry as he seeks to come along side others as a fellow struggler in this journey called life.
I have always felt that life is a journey. The purpose of that journey is to take our experiences and use them to help others. That is what this book is meant to do.
I have written poetry since I was a pre-teen, but these poems get to the real me. In doing so, the language may be rough, the themes not too polite, and the tone is rough and raw. In essence, it is real.
Many people helped me on this journey and now it is my turn. May these poems speak to your heart, to your mind, and help you along your journey.
This book really should be about $10. My only gripe is the author is overfond of silly acronyms and tables that could use better design and any point at all. There are riches here to savour as you read and for later as a reference volume of considerable significance.. Because of the subject matter, I think this book resonates beyond the young adult audience and would be enjoyed by adults as well as all walks of sexual orientation.
There are a few things I would've liked to have seen like Lauren struggling more with intimacy and vulnerability after she gets in the relationship and, in a way, I felt closer to Cameron in the first half of the book than the second so I wish that intimacy would have stayed with her. The whole book feels like it was trying to be streeeetched to fill as many pages as possible. The author's writing style is relaxed -- like having coffee with a friend in many sections -- yet still professional and well done.
One feature I particularly like
