The Willies

The Willies, Falkner’s debut poetry collection, provides an honest and nuanced exploration of queer identity in America, focusing on the complex and often conflicting selves individuals navigate. Through a range of poetic styles, the collection addresses themes of masculinity, societal masks, and cultural appropriation, blending humor, tragedy, and humanity. Ultimately, it invites reflection on personal growth and the importance of confronting fears to understand who we truly are.
