Summary

Queerness, family, magic and Indiana weather combine in These Indiana Winters, B. T. Roen's debut chapbook. Their imagination skips across Seussian animals, fantastical characters, and the struggles of being a queer pastor's kid in the Midwest. Roen's wit and wonder reveals a spark of magic hidden in the everyday.  
Roen chronicles their growing-up years and coming out journey in this little poetic adventure. The speaker has a jumping contest with Jack Frost (they lose), find their gender paralleled in the natural world, and finally turn from the turbulence of self-discovery to comfort their younger self. 
Approximately 26 pages.
