Bryan Borland

In the fall of 2016, Bryan Borland embarked on a book tour that took him across the United States. Set against the backdrop of a divisive presidential campaign with an unanticipated victor, an explosion in New York, a historic World Series, the largest poetry event in North America, and a maturing relationship at home, Borland navigates the ways we become tourists in our own lives.

Poetry. LGBT Studies. On December 20, 2009, Bryan Borland's father was killed when his vehicle left a one-lane bridge and plunged into a lake. These are poems from the year that followed.

Poetry. LGBT Studies. Poems touching on religion, sexuality, Southern life, and self-acceptance reveal the poet's growing up, coming out, and becoming an adult in all its joys and sorrows. MY LIFE AS ADAM is Bryan Borland's full-length debut and was included as one of only five collections of poetry on the American Library Association's inaugural "Over the Rainbow" list of best LGBT books of 2010.
