It is said that relationships are truly holy, that through relationships we find ourselves. In Long Division, we journey with the poet through his relationships in search of identity and self. We feel his gayness devastating his chddhood, alienating him from family, neighborhood, and church. We follow a life in which lovers and friends come and go. We discover his story. Long Division is about communion with others and with ourselves. It gives continuity to our identities, making whole a gay boy and his image in drag in a mirror, making holy a boy playing teasing Salome to (his) own/beholding Herod.
