The kind of love that makes a fool, a pervert, a stalker out of you.? Let?s start here, for much of this description applies to Petrarchan conventions as well. Let?s start here, with this affective entrance into the poems and the impossibility of dispossessing the other?s voice in the manufacture of one?s own machine. Let?s start here, with a vision of poems as indexes of crushes rendered inappropriate, unhealthy by some gradation of difference and level of intensity. With the question of what distinguishes a crush from love if both turn you into a different self. Under oak trees and sunlight, in coffee shops and locker rooms, steam rooms and seminar rooms, and in conversation with Milton, Shakespeare, Frank O?Hara, Narcissus, Allen Ginsberg, Jacques Derrida, Aranye Fradenburg, Mary Magdalene, Freud, Oscar Wilde, José Esteban Muñoz, Eve Kosofsky Sedgwick, Elton John, and Prince, among other poets, harlots, saints, and scholars, Stockton and Gilson explore the ways in which friendship, desire, falling, swerving, possession, holding, faggoting, falling, longing, poeming, and crushing open the self to queerly utopic, if also difficult, deflections ? other, more improbable modes of being, as Foucault might have said. 606 $aAmerican poetry$xGay men 606 $aErotic poetry 610 $aqueer studies 610 $asexuality 610 $agay poetry 610 $aerotic literature 610 $aWilliam Shakespeare 615 0$aAmerican poetry$xGay men. 615 0$aErotic poetry. 676 $a811.6 700 $aStockton$b Will$0802605 702 $aGilson$b D. 801 0$bPQKB 801 2$bUkMaJRU 912 $a9910140400803321 996 $aCrush$92138106 997 $aUNINA
