The poems in this book span a period of 47 years. However, most were written in the 1960s and since 1998. The subject matter ranges from celebration of the family to the wonders of nature, especially the ocean. However, many aspects of life from shopping malls and cell phones to war and social inequality inspired a verse or two. Readers will find much in common with what is an expression of the author's experiences.
"My brother wrote this book based on his own experiences and the experiences of hundreds of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender students he counseled, talked to, and interviewed over the course of his 40-year teaching career. The confusion he experienced during college, and the distress and intolerance he witnessed and heard about from students, lead him to realize that some college and university environments are simply not healthy places for LGBT young people to learn and grow and to sort out their own sexuality. This book documents the problems LGBT students might encounter on campus, and provides advice on how LGBT students can select the best-fit college or university for them." -Bill Hinrichs
