[Brig · Rating 5 out of 5]

Dustin is such an insightful poet. At once sharp and sweet, he has a way of inviting you to see the world in wholly new ways. These poems are funny, sad, and witty, but you’ll leave better than you were before reading them. Dustin’s poetry is for EVERYONE, but if you grew up, or grew into, feeling out of place in a church-dominated community, he’s the poet for you.
