Christopher Soden is a poet of being and becoming, of rising above guilt, shame, abuse and humiliation to build a life of love and self-acceptance. - Michael Simms, author of American AshChristopher Soden's poems are never a PR campaign for the author, never self-aggrandizing below a thin veil of manufactured vulnerability. These are not poems created to insight sighs from the audience. They are much more real than that, much more truly vulnerable than that, much more sticky and fun and difficult than that. Often life is solitary, often life is a mother-fucker, but if you are holding this book in your hands then you are not alone, even more than that: you are being held in the arms of an author who may not know you but, in each and every poem, wonders and cares about you. - Matthew Dickman author of WonderlandHonesty and vulnerability abound in this collection of Whitman-like raptures. Christopher Stephen Soden doesn't just tell us that "There are all kinds of attachment /and all kinds of men"; he takes us on a tour through the erotics of male companionship and unabashed desire. Youth, lover, and sage present themselves to the reader in turn, each inviting the reader to engage in a "pas de deux /with...poppa spirit, Animus. -Michael McKeown Bondhus author of Diving BonesChristopher Soden is a poet of being and becoming, of rising above guilt, shame, abuse and humiliation to build a life of love and self-acceptance. Inside the word revision lies, of course, the word vision. Gusher, a redux of Christopher Soden's brilliant first book Closer, offers the reader insight into the vision and visionary scope and spirit of this poet. The poems in this collection show us how desire, loss, and nostalgia can come alive inside language, remembering hunger, and hungering for memory. Poem after poem takes your breath away and in doing so reminds you that you're still breathing. -sam sax, Author of Madness
