Overview

Salt-Rimmed Breath on Jazz-Thigh Gospel by Ryan Stephen Thornton A maximalist, messy, feral, fruit-dripping gospel of queer excess, chaotic bisexuality, and the sacred act of wanting too much. This isn't your tidy, tasteful poetry collection. It's a velvet chaise longue confession. A lipstick-stained hymnbook. A Capri Sun incident in a sauna. A glittershot love letter to every body that's ever ached to be seen, touched, worshipped, or just left the hell alone. Salt-Rimmed Breath on Jazz-Thigh Gospel doesn't arc-it spirals. It shimmers. It struts. These poems throb with horny holiness, grief in highlighter, summer sweat, maximalist yearning, and divine camp nonsense. There are arse metaphors and ghost stories. There's trauma. There's tenderness. There's probably a bisexual in mesh crying in a beer garden-and it might be you. This is what happens when someone refuses to tone it down. This is what happens when a poet says yes to every feeling at once. Features: Queer embodiment and poetic audacity The unspoken tenderness of being touched correctly Full-fat bisexual hunger in high definition Compliments disguised as confessions Frantic flirting via fruit metaphors A postscript delivered while wearing nothing but boots It's a party, a prayer, a panic attack, a performance. It's a body writing its way back into itself. And it's waiting for you. TW: sex, longing, rejection, internalised shame, unhinged affection, and a heatwave-induced slip hazard.
