Thought-provoking musings on queerness, spirituality, and society. It was interesting to explore religion and the pandemic with Jay through his poetry. I particularly loved ‘On Realising God Exists’ and ‘Jesus at the Gay Bar’.
However, the movement throughout the collection between the hard-hitting and moving poems and the lighthearted moments felt a little incongruous. For me, the collection didn’t feel entirely sequential, and I would have preferred a separation between the tones, such as through chapters or sections.
But, saying that, the central themes of faith, strength, and hope were so warm and inviting. This poetry collection is like a cup of tea and a chat with a good friend.
