    About this ebook

    In this tale of pre-Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell forbidden love, Chas is a champion high school-level boxer turned paragon Naval officer who no one would dare accuse of being anything less than masculine. However, he secretly struggles with his homosexuality, which is known only by himself and Esmeralda, his best friend in the French Naval port of Toulon.

    That is, until he’s found out by fellow gay crewman, Michael. The two spark up a relationship, but all is not well when Chas's homophobic bunkmate gets wind of their affair and reacts violently. Now Chas must defend not only himself, but Michael, as well.

      Sharon Olds, America’s Brave Poet of the Body

      Mar 8, 2017

      Sharon Olds can still remember how furious editors became when she started submitting her poems, 40 years ago. “They came back often with very angry notes,” the 74-year-old poet says, sitting in her small, light-filled apartment overlooking NYU’s cam

      What Lies Beyond

      May 23, 2021

      Karl Stead, poet, critic, fiction writer and memoirist, keeps saying he has been told he could cark it at any moment – a matter of his wonky heart – then he doesn’t cark it at any moment. He is 88. I think he will go on not carking it until he is 99,

      The Song Starts In My Body

      Nov 1, 2022

      I wanted to see her body. I’m aware it sounds strange, even lurid. What I wanted was to see her read her poetry, and her body reading it. Something about Rukeyser’s writing made me feel that she was at home in her flesh, and I wanted to see her lovin

      A Year in Reading: Blair McClendon

      Dec 17, 2020

      I spent the whole year wanting: a better world, a reprieve, a stimulus check, to look at someone’s whole face, to have a drink in a bar, to say things differently, to say things well, to be near. Everything of late has had a hard edge, not just the b

      On Invisible Beauty

      Mar 15, 2018

       Beauty spins and the mind moves. To catch beauty would be to understand how that impertinent stability in vertigo is possible. But no, delight need not reach so far. To be running breathlessly, but not yet arrived, is itself delightful, a suspended

      Stand and Fight

      By Feral Sephrian

      Chas sat on his bunk aboard the Naval landing craft repair ship, ARL-48 Arcas. A journal rested on his pillow as he scribbled that day’s entry onto one of the last pages. He was relieved that their ship was scheduled to dock in Toulon within the next few hours. Of course, he was always glad to be in Toulon. It sure beat being over in Vietnam. Chas had received letters from home saying some of his classmates and cousins had been drafted into service. It made him glad that the seven years he had spent in the Navy since graduating high school meant he was allowed to remain stationed in the Mediterranean, and that all his siblings were girls.

      Still, it wasn’t as though life on the Arcas was a pleasure cruise. Chas and his crewmates had to constantly be on alert to rescue American citizens on foreign soil in the event of hostile situations, or come to the aid of a ship in need of immediate
