Book summary

As poet, physician, and human being, Rafael Campo's vocation, training, and humanity inform and shape his every encounter. As a gay man, a Latino and a Catholic, his encounters are freighted with complex emotional baggage, and it is to his credit and his reader's edification that he denies none of these elements in his struggle to provide an honest account of his relationship with a gay patient and his own "education in empathy, identity, and desire."
