“Jason Edwards is courageous, bold and extraordinarily honest. He writes about imprecise relationships with an exploratory precision that left me repeatedly gasping in recognition. He writes about physical love with a matter-of-fact lack of embarrassment that is startling, powerful and reminiscent of Genet. He also uses and subverts the sonnet form to provide a kind of memoir in poetry, which reaches deep into the physical and spiritual world of the poet. There is no flowery language in these sinewy poems, just a writer confronting the evolving faces of truth about the world, his relationships and himself. A beautiful first collection.” James Nash, author of Some Things Matter: 63 Sonnets
