Straddling the Line

A.F. Henley

Sinopse

Scott Riley has lived his whole life in the Town of Sunridge but spent most of his childhood certain that the first thing he would do when he got old enough was leave. That was until Sid's Tavern came up for sale, though. With a little bit of money and a lot of hard work, he is confident that he will be able to refresh the bar and add a little bit of life to the town. He also knows that's going to be hard to do all alone. So, when a slightly disheveled but desperate and willing to work young man shows up asking for a job, it seems as though fate has intervened.


Lee Warner brings a dark past with him, but he's sober, hungry, and willing to try just about anything if it will bring him a sense of purpose and renew his energy. Walking into that tavern was meant to be nothing more than a chance for opportunity, but that was before Lee got a good look at Scott. With hair the color of a sunset and a nervous energy to match it, Scott is revitalizing Lee in ways Lee never expected.


That seems to be contagious energy, however, and as Scott is as straight as they come, he can't understand why Lee is awakening feelings in him. Or how to turn those feelings off.

Swansdown

Donald Platt

In Swansdown, Donald Platt makes a study of life' s inevitable transitions, from love' s astonishing evolutions, to aging and its attendant losses. With the poem " Cloud Study" Platt brings his own mortality into view. Returning to a painting by Constable, he considers his own perspective, sitting by the Liffey, tending an injured knee. Young mothers, lovers, and runners pass, reminding the poet of who he once was and how quickly life, like weather, shifts. " Two minutes later, // The clouds would have taken on a different cast of light and shape / just like the thunderheads / now piling up above the Liffey."

Platt advises: " To approach old age, one needs a new harsher style." And yet these poems are proof of the softness that may follow life' s harshest reckonings, like the wisps of hair on his beloved brother' s head as he lies dying, " fine / as milkweed silk. / His head a split / dried pod whose seeds / wind will scatter." The poems of Swansdown point us to a " larger landscape," they are the clouds " that scud across the blue escutcheon of sky. . . Sun' s blazon through rain rampant."

System Overload

Saxon James

Keller 
Banging my son’s bestie was a total accident that will never, ever happen again. I’m sure of it. 
While he might be gorgeous and caught me in a weak moment, when it comes right down to it, my son has been my entire life for the last twenty-six years. I don’t know how to be anything other than his dad. 
But with Molly heading off to Seattle, he leaves me with a parting gift: Will. 
His best friend. 
And my new roommate. 
Still, I’m determined to focus on my plan of finding someone to settle down with and to start living for me. 
Then Molly hits me with another gift: he’s asked Will to help find me the perfect partner. 
Will 
Molly leaving me to run away across the country made one thing very obvious. I crave stability. I crave a life where I get to control what happens to me, without the constant threat of having to move home to my homophobic family. 
All I need to focus on is work and making enough money for the downpayment on my own place. 
Except now I’m living in the spare bedroom of the man I’ve been in love with for years. 
The same bedroom where we had one very messy, very quick, accidental frot sesh. 
Now I’m cooking for him every night, and we’re working out together every morning. It’s all feeling very domestic and my heart can’t separate reality from the fantasies in my head. 
I know I’m going to get hurt. 
It’s only a matter of time. 
But when it comes to Keller, it’s impossible for me to walk away.
