dc.description.abstract	Waiting for Ignition, a collection of 47 poems, deals with themes of desire, masculinity, family, community, and connection/disconnection. The speaker in these poems navigates the difficulties of identifying as a young gay man in rural Missouri, the loneliness that stems from his disconnect with the queer community, and his inability to find meaningful connection through his romantic and sexual experiences.	en
