Reviews

Adarro Minton is a fascinating writer of great power and will; his stories move the soul and warm the mind.
Allex Spires

Adarro’s work is brassy, insightful, brazen, and uniquely refreshing. You’ll find his writing utterly filled with ingenuous, unambiguous prose: his realism will make you lose yourself among the pages and you will long to return to his writing again and again. After reading Adarro’s work I can’t imagine walking away from his writing and forgetting about what I have read and you too, will carry his stories with you.
Dayna Winters

Minton's voice resonates with a tough and still tender realism. He gives spirit and flesh to the disenfranchised.
Marlene Rosenfield-Crawford

Richly atmospheric, Adarro Minton’s writing tenaciously captures quotidian details in a fresh and unique way, so much so that life’s seeming invisibilities become whole new worlds worthy of contemplative attention.

Dad I'm Gay. (period.)

Instead of swinging
his coarse blue-collar fists at me
in antipathy
and tossing my creased Lee jeans
and red Pro-Keds into the
ragged alley behind our
fertile home; on Saturdays
he drove me passed the
pugilistic football fields in
his masculine Cadillac
car, to the tittering
ballet studio where I
learned to tuck my dick
and point my toes, and
sat amongst the proud parents
of girl-children
watching me signify and finger snap.
