    About this ebook

    Carnet de Croquis ~ Sketchbook is Lewis Bosworths 2nd collection of poetry. Much of his writing is autobiographical and intensely personal. Favorite themes in this volume, as well as in his first, are life through a gay filter, faith, health and disability, growing up and animals. Here the poet dabbles in haiku and stream-of-consciousness. Lewis is happily joined by Agneta Sarinske, photographer, and one of his emotional, cultural, and political soulmates.

    Author

    Lewis Bosworth

    Lewis Bosworth is a linguist by training. His education includes studies at the Universities of Wisconsin and Michigan, and he was on the faculty of Wesleyan University in CT. A Midwesterner at heart, his interests include musical theatre, art, travel, GLBTQ studies, disability issues, church work and dining out. He was born in Detroit and resides in Madison, WI. He writes and reads poetry because words reflect the diversity, culture and spirit of world peoples. Young people should be taught to hear poems as fun and games and to express themselves by writing stream-of-consciousness – non-graded!

      Essai photographique ~ Photographic Essay

      I thank my husband Roger for driving me on distant hilly country roads on photo expeditions, searching for the perfect shot; my son Anders for joining me on camera walks; my Swedish on-line friend Anders for being an inspiration through his beautiful nature photography; my father for giving me life by joining his with my mother; and my mother for her unconditional love and her beautiful smile on the best photo I have ever taken.

      A.S.

      I thank my sister and brother in Christ, Judy and Bill; my caregivers, Krysia and Kay; my steadfast friends, Christopher and Bill; the people of France and Portugal for welcoming me; poet Timothy Liu and the Rev. Harvey Peters. And I honor the memory of my parents and grandparents; my professors, Jean Carduner and Alex Kroff; the Rev. J. Stephen Bremer and my partner of 17 years, Terry Allen.

      Growing Up

      Lamentation

      My dad wanted a boy, a boy

      like boys are supposed to be.

      A little-leaguer, a cub scout, a

      chip-off-the-old-block.

      One of the guys. Isn’t it like

      dads to want little boys to

      be one of the guys? Why can’t

      boys just be little? Why can’t

      boys be more like little girls?

      My dad took me to the YMCA –

      one of those father&son bonding

      things – go swimming. He took

      me against my wishes. He caught

      me unawares; he told me that

      men didn’t wear anything swimming

      at the Y. So I didn’t need a suit.

      I could just do what other boys

      and dads did. Let everyone see me.

      I was twelve years old, and my body

      was starting to change. I didn’t want

      to be on display. I wanted me for

      myself. Dad wanted to show me off.

      Sons are important, and you want

      them to be little versions of you.

      Upright little male citizens.

      He stole me away to the Y, and I

      wore my swim suit as though it

      were a little tutu, perhaps a girdle

      with snaps to hold up my stockings.

      I had no rights, but I refused to be

      a
