Siegel examines queer grief during the onset of the AIDS crisis through a lavender-and-leather pantheon: St. Christopher, Allah, and the God of San Francisco transubstantiate a sarcoma's cicatrix into sequins, a viral dowry into a benevolent plume of dazzling feathers. From Laramie, Wyoming, to Toledo, Ohio, Siegel performs a magisterial frilling of historical attention, always emerging as \"an extraordinary conflagration. A beautiful immolation.\" At once an elegiac columbarium and search-and-rescue map for future bliss, \u003cem\u003eThe God of San Francisco \u003c\/em\u003etrills from the Castro Funeral Home to North Beach and back, surmising death as something honeyed and lissome, \"eulogies eulogized.\" Desire masquerades as \"a raven gliding \/ on the backdrop of midnight\" and \"Jesus in fishnets, \/ crossdressing his way through Nazareth,\" and desire cedes each poem's boy, spectral or otherwise, a warm hand, green grass, \"the sun's rays on our skin.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e James J.
