Boy FriendsBoy Friends

An intimate and original memoir of love, grief and male friendship. In 2018 poet and author Michael Pedersen lost a cherished friend, Scott Hutchison, soon after their collective voyage into the landscape of the Scottish Highlands. Just weeks later, Michael began to write to him. As he confronts the bewildering process of grief, what starts as a love letter to one magical, coruscating human soon becomes a paean to all the gorgeous male friendships that have transformed his life. Boy Friends sees Pedersen illuminate these companions with a poet's eye, a comedian's timing - and a lover's care.
