Reviews

“Cole LeFavour, Idaho’s first openly queer state senator and a leader in the ‘Add the Words’ campaign, doesn’t just add words here—they test them. Break them. Hurt and heal with them. In the Arms of Mountains is a fierce, earnest portrait of rural queer life that insists on beauty, resistance, and wholeness in places America too often overlooks.” —Willie Carver Jr., author of Gay Poems for Red States
