Poetry is the least necessary of the arts, until you start reading it.
Then it becomes only as necessary as blood and oxygen. This is true even
if you sit quietly in a corner and read to yourself, but poetry is
meant to be heard.
Gay presence is nothing new to American verse and theater. Homoerotic
themes are discernible in American poetry as early as the 19th century,
and identifiably gay characters appeared on the American stage more
than 70 years ago.
The world of poets is small, even smaller if you focus on the gay ones.
