In this nomadic journey, Walsh explores queer identity set against an ever-changing landscape of what we want, and who we are, were, and came to be.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWalsh is a storyteller in verse, his poems laced with catholic \"sensibilities\" and punctuated with Maritime vernacular. In \u003ci\u003eThese are not the potatoes of my youth\u003c\/i\u003e, Walsh illuminates the complex choreography of family, the anxiety of individuality, and the ambiguous histories of stories erased, forgotten, or suppressed.
