Still Human

With poems set in San Francisco, Oakland, and New York City, Still Human is a surrealistic poetry collection that explores gender, sexuality, and human identity. Along with illustrations that poetically complement certain poems, the collection views the world through a surrealistic lens. In order to discover a place in one’s town, city, and country, the poems dive into the dichotomy between urban and rural, male and female, animal and human.

“These poems probe human and animal bodies in all their messy and glorious fleshiness and dig down to the heart and soul and the marrow of our lives. Many are grounded within the urban landscapes of the San Francisco Bay Area, reflecting the vibrant life still calling the locale home.”

The Cosmos Is Alive

Still Human is a boundary-defying romp—visceral, disturbing, surreal, full of animals and erasures, personified body parts, gritty imaginary confessions, and unsettling innuendo.

Hollie Hardy, author of How to Take a Bullet And Other Survival Poems

Still Human

Anyone who has ever read Keith Gaboury knows that he’ll meet you any day on the corner of Weird and Absurd with the Monk of Real Life meditating in the intersection.
