Gay Midwestern Realism


GAY MIDWESTERN REALISM


Not that I wanted to be—
Realistic about anything at all

Not that I wanted to be—
Part of any kind of Movement

Whether literary or political—
It just seemed to happen

It was a natural thing—
Growing up in Athens

The Athens of the Midwest—
With its two colleges

Not exactly your normal—
Kind of Kansas Cowtown
