"This book gives us what no contemporary TV program, movie, or magazine has even come close to—the tender, angry, funny emotional innards of the embattled daily life of working-class gay men." (Minnie Bruce Pratt, author of S/He)
"The edgy, surprising stories in Everything I Have Is Blue are a tonic,… bringing to our attention characters and themes we seldom see explored in gay contemporary fiction." (Jaime Manrique, editor of Besame Mucho: New Gay Latino Fiction)
“Blue is a response not to silence but to overwhelming noise—pop-cultural, media, and literary representations of gay men that shove us all into the Will &Grace/Queer Eye for the Straight Guy mold, that assume that gentrification, mindless consumption, and so-called "good taste" are what you need to be a member of the gay community. The contributors to Blue write as and about men whose multifaceted lives haven’t been deformed by trying to stuff them into that claustrophobic stereotype. They write about what it really means to be a queer man today.” (Wendell Ricketts)
