Fools Gold

Stephen grew up queer in a repressive and conformist society, and ended up living in exile in America. Wrestling with Bipolar Disorder and Schizoid Disorder, he started writing poetry to release, to cope, to express what was suppressed to maintain and fit in the facade of "normalcy' in order to survive.

This poetry grew over the years to comprise over 10 volumes. Fools Gold is the ninth volume that collects poems written around the time of his husband's cancer diagnosis.
