Tempestuous Times

Tempestuous Times: Sonnets of a Gay Infatuation is a poignant and lyrical collection inspired by the timeless beauty of Shakespeare's sonnets to a mysterious young man. Written from the depths of an unrequited love affair more than forty-six years ago, these verses capture the turbulent mix of longing, desire, and bittersweet memory. Through the structure and cadence of Elizabethan verse, the author reimagines personal heartbreak as a work of art-transforming private grief into a public testament of passion. By weaving together Shakespearean form with modern queer experience, this book bridges centuries of love poetry, revealing how the ache of yearning and the fire of infatuation are as eternal as the sonnet itself.
