Poetry. LGBT Studies. RED SUBURB portrays the neurotic beauty of a generation squeezed between the Baby Boomers and Generation X. These poems-ripe with love and wisfulness-scope the garish Kodak colors of suburbia, then twist like a kaleidescope to reveal a distorted American Dream. Thoughtful and at times urgent, Greg Hewett writes of coming-of-age as a seer, a dreamer, a gay man, and a social iconoclast amidst the abject development of cul-de-sacs and two-car garages. Like a gay Wonder Years, RED SUBURB is a poignant collection of memory, love, and longing.
