Some men love each other. For others, love of something else gets between them. Padraig Ó Tuama's 'Love Between Men' begins in the garden of Eden, recasting Adam, Eve, and God into voices both abrasive and intimate. Then, in seven deadly sonnets, the poet details his own experiences of exorcisms and gay reparative therapies, exploring desire with its promise and fear of fulfilment. These poems by turns, intelligent, funny, devastating, and explosive consider time, the edges of empire, and the limits of the tongue.
