Description
People who struggle to fit into narrow, heteronormative societal norms should not be dismissed as childish, crazy, or misanthropic. They might reject blind obedience because they recognize its childishness and possess an extensive vocabulary which includes nuanced concepts like transcendence, which they pursue relentlessly and courageously. Perhaps the routine suffocates us because it lacks order, leading us to accept anything that most people do as normal and good, resulting in a failure of imagination severe enough to become an extinction level event.
If you share this perspective, yet refuse to let it crush your humor, empathy, and determination to express your authentic self and create a better world, then Faster, Annihilators! is the book for you. This poetry collection chronicles a gay man’s struggle to reject conformity, demand more from himself, and thrive in a society that is still inexcusably oppressive.
A Note From the Publisher
Advance Praise
"A remarkable collection of poetry that eloquently portrays his journey of sexual awakening and his poignant experiences within the LGBT community, all during a time when same-sex marriage was yet to gain legal recognition in the United States." -Literary Titan
"A gorgeous work that beautifully explores individual angst and timely socio-political issues." -BookView Review
"A stunning collection of poems in several different categories; love, hope, politics, and despair. We look at life through Hupp's eyes." -Readers' Favorite
"When rationale, social observation, and personal evolution collide, the result is powerful indeed. Libraries seeking poetry works that toe the line between memoir and social examination will find Faster, Annihilators! just the ticket for book clubs and readers exploring bigger-picture thinking about life trajectories, choices, and social influences." -Midwest Book Review
