Waiting for Ignition, a collection of 47 poems, deals with themes of desire, masculinity, family, community, and connection/disconnection. The speaker in these poems navigates the difficulties of identifying as a young gay man in rural Missouri, the loneliness that stems from his disconnect with the queer community, and his inability to find meaningful connection through his romantic and sexual experiences. / Master of Fine Arts
