For others, love of something else gets between them. Pádraig Ó Tuama's \u003cem\u003eLove Between Men\u003c\/em\u003e begins in the garden of Eden, recasting Adam, Eve, and God into voices both abrasive and intimate. Then, in seven deadly sonnets, the poet details his own experiences of exorcisms and gay reparative therapies, exploring desire with its promise and fear of fulfillment. These poems--by turns, intelligent, funny, devastating, and explosive--consider time, the edges of empire, and the limits of the tongue. Here is rage paired with prayer, in punked-up forms and broken sequences. \u003cem\u003eLove Between Men\u003c\/em\u003e celebrates and challenges love: of history, poetry, language--and, ultimately, of change.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Pádraig Ó.
