SO FAR AFIELD is a poetic study into the queer nature of love among men--a gay love that's been called contra naturam--tracing their wild desires, spiritual connections, and unspoken encounters, from seaside to cemetery. With a voice both musical and broken, Speers' debut collection incorporates classical lyric forms with a contemporary elliptical style to create new narratives about our old world--a world that keeps on falling in love, even as it's falling apart.
