Sticked, Stoned & Bottled - Paperback

by Scott Gibson (Author)

Navigating the roller coaster of living a gay life can prove challenging when inundated by religious judgment and misunderstanding. Sticked, Stoned & Bottled, a poem by Scott Gibson, uses a prescriptive form as a metaphor for the structured life that organized religion and other man-made institutions attempt to create. Gibson's language flows with the ups and downs of life, beautiful at times yet laborious at others, giving the reader the emotional ride that most gay people experience each day in their attempt to find their own happiness and truth.
