This book is amazing. The poetry is beautifully written, precise and to the point but full of vivid imagery so real you can touch it. I highly recommend this book.

He talks about his own experiences and those of others in the same situation. It's a shame when children are subjected to such judgemental and harsh treatment because of who they are.

The Literary Party is a collection of poems, one short story, and an essay with LGBT roots. The writer being ex-Amish and gay gives an interesting perspective, and it's what drew me in at the beginning. His writing is raw, honest, and dark at times. I couldn't put it down from the beginning, and I'm curious to see what this talent comes up with next.

To know James, is to love him entirely. I have always guessed that his transition into freedom was not easy -but he brought into a very clear perspective of how difficult it really was. I enjoyed reading each of the stages of his growth -feeling his love, passion, disappointments, and heartbreaks along the way. It is an opportunity to see just how he became the fabulous diva he is ;) As well as the expansion into the brilliant poetic artist he's always been.

Did not like this book. I have no idea what it is like to grow up gay in the Amish cult, It meant nothing to me and I never finished the book!!
