Robert Peters's poetry covers a wide range of themes and forms, from intensely personal volumes of celebrations and losses to excursions into the psyches of a vast gallery of historical eccentrics. Readers will be struck by the power, depth, and range of this retrospective collection, which should add to Peter's reputation as one of the most seminal living American poets.

First published in 1987, this book encompasses a broad range interdisciplinary research into homosexuality — displaying a full spectrum of points of view — and, given that the major traditions of modern homosexual research began in Europe, is not restricted to works in English.. In general topics that are densely covered in the literature are presented in this guide selectively, with some less studied topics, such as Economics and Music, fleshed out with signposts to more comprehensive research. It seeks to not only mirror existing publications, but also to stimulate new work by pinpointing neglected themes and methods. This book will be of interest to students of sociology.
