This Gay Poet's Book About Heartbreak Is Relatable AF

When you plan to move to Australia to be with your long-distance boyfriend and then he dumps you for another man, what can you possibly do? Write a poem about it. In fact, write a 196-page poetry book about it. That's what gay poet Kevin Tyler Norman did when he created Shelter, his self-published collection of poetry and prose about the whirlwind experience.

In this video, he performs "Dear Daniel" and addresses his ex-lover and the man he was left for. The lines are sharp, pointed, pained, and pack a punch. His words will have you simultaneously sobbing and snapping. Read some excerpts from Shelter below and get your copy today.
