Butt Stuff Flower Bush
by Sam Herschel Wein
Wein’s Butt Stuff Flower Bush is a joyous, vulnerable, fantastically gay chapbook of poems that dance through sex, relationships, trauma, healing, and hunger. It has its share of tears, and there’s joy too. Eat, want, sing, survive, flirt. (Porkbelly Press 2023)
