Title:Fellow Odd Fellow

The witty, poignant, exuberant poems in Steven Riel’s first collection celebrate the life and observations of “a man / with a strapless imagination / whose armoires are endless / & hold all that he might need.” The reveling in gay experience calls up all sorts of poetic “fellow odd fellows,” from Walt Whitman to Frank O’Hara, whose rapturous voices are echoed here. —John Drury
