When I was a 17-year-old sufferg the suburbs of Hartford, Connecticut, Aaron Smh’s poems helped me image my future, both as a gay person and as a poet. The few gay male poets I’d read at that pot were eher ad (Frank O’Hara, for stance, whom I loved) or stuffy, which ma them feel even further away.

It was the first llectn by a livg gay poet that I ever read. In his past three books—Blue on Blue Ground (2005), Appete (2012), and Primer (2016)—Smh mataed the re set of poetic preoccupatns that spoke to me as a teenager: the gay male subject’s sir and sham (as well as the often blurry boundary between them), and the e of pop culture as a mirror which to figure one’s own experience (“Walkg to lunch I am Cher Moonstck, hly fucked, ” om Blue on Blue on Ground, is a le that will never leave me). ” It’s a triple-entendre: a play on the homophone you might hear a workshop or at an open mic, a nod to his own “poem to Cher, ” and a wkg acknowledgment of his secury about his stature as a poet.
While Smh has been wrg unapologetilly gay poems sce the start of his reer, he has never seemed so unncerned wh acmodatg a general dience—that is, one outsi the poetry world. In Smh’s prev books, she was a remarkably unsympathetic figure, as she sometim is the pag; the last le of “The Dancg Lbian” reads, “Mom cried when she found out I was gay. ”) Though The Book of Daniel is a ls bleak llectn than his prev one—and I don’t e bleak pejoratively here— don’t shy away om his most difficult subjects: the trma of homophobia, both past and prent; his ght relatnship to sex; the specter of suici.
