Still Human
By Keith Gaboury
Primarily set in the Bay Area, 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.
A boundary-defying romp—visceral, disturbing, surreal, full of animals and erasures, personified body parts, gritty imaginary confessions, and unsettling innuendo.
Keith Gaboury earned a MFA in Creative Writing from Emerson College. His poems have appeared in such literary publications as Poetry Quarterly, New Millennium Writings, and the San Francisco Public Library’s Poem of the Day Series.

Still Human invites readers to wander into boy discovery, a chimeric journey into sex and parent traps stuck to us like snails on our flesh.
