"The Gospel According to B." is a queer autobiography of Jesus of Nazareth's life. A series of persona poems both in Jesus's voice and in the voices of those he impacted, "The Gospel According to B." delivers a queer account of Jesus's early life and times, from his childhood to young adulthood, periods curiously omitted in canonical Gospels. Combining midrashic, gnostic, and queer thought, the poems ditch heteronormative assumptions about Jesus's experience, sensibilities, and era and imaginatively insert new, and especially queer, angles to biblical stories. Though the collection draws from a Judeo-Christian tradition, its appeal is broad regardless of one's spiritual, religious, or atheistic orientation. The poems unlock a queer dimension to both spiritual experience and biblical history and throw open surprising revelations about the nature of the sacred.
