A Heart’s Seasons: Gay Romance, Love and Sex Poems

In A Heart’s Seasons: Gay Romance, Love and Sex Poems, author and artist Spencer Sheehan-Kalina traces the shifting weather of desire, intimacy, heartbreak, tenderness, and renewal through a deeply personal and lyrical collection of poems. Moving through the emotional seasons of the heart, these poems linger in first glances, long nights, aching distance, bodies entwined, and the quiet hope of finding love that stays.

Sensual without losing tenderness, and intimate without losing honesty, this collection celebrates queer love in all its forms: passionate, vulnerable, playful, mournful, and transformative. The poems unfold across bedrooms, coastlines, small towns, memories, and imagined futures, offering readers a portrait of gay romance that is both deeply human and unapologetically queer.

Written with warmth, longing, and emotional clarity, A Heart’s Seasons is a collection for anyone who has ever fallen in love, lost themselves in another person, or searched for connection in a world that often asks queer people to remain unseen.

For readers of contemporary LGBTQ+ poetry, romantic verse, and intimate confessional writing, this collection is an invitation to feel deeply, desire openly, and return again and again to the changing seasons of the heart.
