The multihyphenate gaybaits his way through a book of poetry.
After a career spent traversing the queer divide, noted poet James Franco addresses his oft-discussed sexuality by confronting the person that most oft-discusses his sexuality: James Franco.
According to Amazon's description of his new poetry book, Straight James / Gay James:
Straight James / Gay James, actor James Franco's new chapbook of poems, explores the facets of his public and private personas. Straight James / Gay James is a poetic bildungsroman--raw, candid, and uninhibited. James Franco writes about life as an actor, sexuality, questions of identity, gender, family, Gucci, Lana Del Rey, James Dean, and Hollywood. His poetic style varies from the imagistic to the prosaic. The chapbook also contains an interview of "Gay James" conducted by "Straight James." Yes, Straight James asks the question: Let's get substantial: are you fucking gay or what?
These questions and others will be "answered" when Straight James / Gay James comes out of the literary closet on January 1. Or you can get your digital copy and quench your Gay Franco thirst now.
