Abstract from materials provided by the publisher.
Bob Publicover began to write when he realized that his longtime companion John Carabineris was not going to recover from his first AIDS illness. He wrote to understand his own feelings. After John's death, he wrote, in his grief, to stay sane.
The poems and short stories in this volume are not just about AIDS and grief. They also recall the happy, fun times that these two men spent together over 11 years. This book also tells of the author's own struggles about being HIV positive.
