Summary

“I hope this is my year – the year when I start making new friends, lose my spots, lose my virginity (and my religion), get decent GCSE results so I can get into the sixth-form, and most importantly, get Patrick Garrison to fall completely in love with me. If I can achieve any of these things then 1995 will be the perfect year.” 

So begins Journals of a Gay Teen, the story of a young man attempting to come to terms with his sexuality and his obsessive love with the popular straight boy at school who doesn’t love him back. Navigating his way through exam stress and the fallout of crumbling friendships, he escapes into music, books, and art, while documenting it all in his journals. 

In his debut fictional memoir, Peter Hartford has captured the pain and alienation of being young and gay in the 1990s and the bittersweet moments of unrequited love.
Available since: 10/25/2016.

    Dillon: I don't do relationships. I've been abandoned all my life, and I don't trust a soul except my own damn self. But there's something different about Jack Chance. From his lithe, gymnast's body to his soulful hazel eyes, he's everything I never knew I wanted. When he's wrapped up in my arms, begging for more, everything seems right about the world. 
    I'm not boyfriend material—everyone in Abingdon knows that. I've got a moonshine-making hillbilly family, a heart hardened by war, and I walk into burning buildings for a living. Oh, and I'm still in love with my best friend. 
    Jack: I like a good project—maybe that's why I'm madly, ridiculously, over-the-moon in love with Dillon Manning. I want him to see what I see when I look at him—a hero, a whole, real man. I'm addicted to his touch, his body, the way he kisses me so deeply and so tenderly. There's more to Dillon than he lets on. I just want him to realize it. 
    But Dillon is just about on my last nerve, and I'm ready to be done. That's when the unthinkable happens.

    With the emotional undertow of Ocean Vuong and the astute political observations of Natalie Diaz, a powerful poetry debut exploring the effects of racism, war and colonialism, queer love and desire.In their breathtaking international debut, Aaiún Nin plumbs the depths of the lived and enduring effects of colonialism in their native country, Angola. In these pages, Nin untangles complexities of exile, the reckoning of familial love, but also reveals the power of queer love and desire through the body that yearns to love and be loved. Nin shows the ways in which faith and devotion serve as forms of oppression and interrogates the nature of home by reclaiming the persistent echoes of trauma. A captivating blend of evocative prose and intimate testimony, Nin speaks to the universal vulnerability of existence.
