Ebook description

A collection of seven poetry books (180 poems), The Closet Clandestine: a queer steps out, tracks a gay man's sensitivities to the strange world encountered both in and out of the real and poetic closet. Sensitive and bold, and sometimes shocking and, in all cases, lyrical, this is a journey from shy emergence to bold self-confidence.

Review by: Sharon E. Cathcart on Jan. 05, 2010 :
As always, Ed Patterson's poetry is outstanding for its vocabulary and meter. I liked some poems better than others, but that is frequently the case with an epic anthology of this sort. I found Ed's treatment of issues surrounding "coming out" to be very sensitive.

Not for younger readers due to subject matter and occasional vulgar language.

I haven't finished reading all the poems in this collection. I enjoyed what I have read. Edward Patterson is a talented writer. I find his work very intriguing.
