Our identities are myriad. Sibling. Child. Professional. Creative. Inward dialogue. Outward expressions. Shaped by our environments. Shaped by our spiritual cores. Drag Queen Preacher is a deep reflection on being. In poetic snapshots, R.R. Tavárez—pastor, urban farmer, artist, advocate, drag queen—reveals the complexities and rich beauties of a multi-faceted identity.

“This book is a major contribution to LGBTQ+ literature and the literature of drag in performance, as well as the spirituality of religious help for those in real need. Tavárez uses his poetry as touchstones to move those who come to this book that they too may awaken to the many kindnesses one may share in spite of poverty and racism, the awareness of love as the rose in a new dawn.” – David Cope, Grand Rapids Poet Laureate (2011-2014)
