"The Dandelion Cloud is more than a coming out novel; it's a testament to the courage that can arise from confusion...Told in precise, lyrical language and embedded with imagery destined to linger, [it] is a story of transcendence, honesty, and bravery." Curtis Smith

"When historians of the future want to know how that silence [of gay lives] felt...they might well start here, with these aching poems of thwarted desire and self-loathing, and the frail spark of hope that maybe someday one could be loved." Mark Doty
