Loose Bricks

After a big life upheaval in the summer of 2012, Boston Gordon started keeping an unusual journal. What started as a simple habit of texting himself notes evolved into a decade-long chronicle of poetry fragments, memories, gift ideas for lovers, unsent letters, raw drafts of difficult messages, and the music and literature that moved him. Loose Bricks is the result: a striking fragment poetry collection capturing the messy, sweet, and transformative moments of a young adult's life. Gordon invites readers into his exploration of relationships, friendships, job loss, sexual adventure, and gender transition, weaving a raw collection that grapples with the ultimate questions of what makes a life.
