diesel fuel: passionate poetry
first richard kasak book edition, 1997.
an icon of the queer literary world and an infamous bdsm advocate, patrick califia’s first book of poetry, “diesel fuel”, gives voice to "tough, funny, often working-class dykes who howl in anger, rage, and ecstasy about the power of sex, the sex of power, and not a few controversies between."
at the time of its publication, patrick had not yet transitioned and was still publishing under the name pat califia. prior to transitioning, califia identified with and wrote about the lesbian community but is now a bisexual man who primarily focuses on the experiences of trans men. califia is perhaps best known for macho sluts as well as his advice columns for the gay men's leather magazine “drummer”, the leatherwomen's quarterly “venus infers”, and his contributions to queer theory. he is beloved for his deeply sexual and fantastical queer bdsm fiction. from 2001 to 2011, he was licensed in california as a marriage and family therapist.
