Sweet Son of Pan is a collection of erotic poems, born of crushes, love affairs, fantasies, dreams, and real experiences with men from around the world. These poems are written in a mood of devotion, a praise through language of the sweetest garden we enter as physical beings. They are a response to the sadness that is often a consequence of sex; the fear that so unnecessarily surrounds it; the disrespect that is visited upon it. They are wishes; elegies for our lost brothers-and for the parts of ourselves that our lost; parts we rediscover. They are a reaffirmation of sexual freedom and the wisdom that can be gained from the journey along that path-glimpses of paradise, our oneness and timelessness-and if we are lucky, of a small horned creature with cloven hooves who reminds us we came here only to share, and to share joyfully.

After reviewing traditional Christology and the various liberation Christologies including black, Hispanic, Asian, white feminist, and women of colour, the author explores whether and how "queer" might be a social location for Christological study, concluding with the view of Christ's person and work from a queer perspective. "Christology from the Margins" not only articulates a queer Christology but also engages in a "queering" of biblical texts that have only ever been read through the lens of heterosexual perspectives in the past. With a strikingly engaging style, this author examines an area of study that will continue to attract students and scholars for the foreseeable future.

'Look what you do to me. Let's have sex.' 'Okay.' And that was the start of it all. Well, not the start. The commitment, the uncaring change over. So here's the deal, you're being let into a head. That's it, that's all you're getting. Only part of a story, only waking thoughts for which you'll need to fill in the blanks. This is the output of fifty mornings. Fifty ink spills across blank pages of a book. Fifty waking thoughts scrawled through half open eyes. Fifty mornings getting over him.

This study explored the experience of what it is to be a gay man and to live in a rural community. The findings of this study show that these men were able to live in rural locations by effectively employing a diverse range of strategies to both combat the difficulties of rural life and to enhance its advantages. The bush was the place in which these men could find themselves, be themselves and also find others like themselves. This book documents a largely unreported aptitude and adeptness by rural gay men to live contented lives in rural areas. It suggests that their close affinity with place gives them a sense of belonging. It also suggests that these men had the capacity for agency - the individual's ability to exert autonomy over his life - that drove their determination to control and improve their own lives and live them the way they chose. This is a perspective that has been untold in previous narratives of rural gay men. That gay men can live fulfilled lives in the very places they are too often said to have fled evokes an innovative understanding of what it is to be gay in the bush.

A lyrical and meticulously researched mapping of the ways in which diverse societies have shaped female same-sex sexuality across time and geograhy From the ancient poet Sappho to tombois in contemporary Indonesia, women throughout history and around the globe have desired, loved, and had sex with other women. In beautiful prose, Sapphistries tells their stories, capturing the multitude of ways that diverse societies have shaped female same-sex sexuality across time and place. Leila J. Rupp reveals how, from the time of the very earliest societies, the possibility of love between women has been known, even when it is feared, ignored, or denied. We hear women in the sex-segregated spaces of convents and harems whispering words of love. We see women beginning to find each other on the streets of London and Amsterdam, in the aristocratic circles of Paris, in the factories of Shanghai. We find women's desire and love for women meeting the light of day as Japanese schoolgirls fall in love, and lesbian bars and clubs spread from 1920s Berlin to 1950s Buffalo. And we encounter a world of difference in the twenty-first century, as transnational concepts and lesbian identities meet local understandings of how two women might love each other. Giving voice to words from the mouths and pens of women, and from men's prohibitions, reports, literature, art, imaginings, pornography, and court cases, Rupp also creatively employs fiction to imagine possibilities when there is no historical evidence. Sapphistries combines lyrical narrative with meticulous historical research, providing an eminently readable and uniquely sweeping story of desire, love, and sex between women around the globe from the beginning of time to the present.
