Poetry. LGBT Studies. "Bengtson's poems are rough-edged and sassy. He pulls no punches. This trip down LEAVENWORTH STREET is not for the weak of heart or the shy of spirit. Be prepared for a few bruises. This is a bumpy ride that celebrates the indomitable spirit of a survivor who has learned his craft well and parades his words and life experience from one end of Leavenworth Street to the other. This is an exhilarating read"--Fredrick Zydek.
