THE GOSPEL ACCORDING TO B.
The Gospel According to B. is a queer and mystical autobiography in narrative verse of Jesus of Nazareth's coming of age. Like all gospels, this collection continues the method of Jewish midrash to release fresh -- and in this case queer -- revelations in spiritual truths. Unlike other gospels, this one pauses with Jesus's childhood, adolescence, and early adulthood, infusing familiar biblical scenes with mystical perspectives and queer characters. The poems also add new moments -- from Jesus reading The Epic of Gilgamesh to his kiss with a handsome stranger from Sodom and the impact of street artists and women mystics on his unconventional ideas about sex, mysticism, and the divine. The Gospel According to B. joins other gospel writers in inviting you to write the Gospel According to You.
