\nSummary provided by the publisher:
\nOutliving Michael is a memorial memoir in poetry\, chronicling Steven Reigns&rsquo\;s profound friendship with Mich ael Church\, who died of AIDS in 2000. Through vignettes and tender reflec tions\, Reigns traces their intergenerational bond\, a connection of mento rship\, shared artistic pursuits\, and the quiet acts of devotion that sha ped their lives as gay men in the 1990s.
\nThis deeply personal coll ection becomes both an elegy and an archive\, honoring the countless roles played by a generation lost to AIDS: lover\, sibling\, parent\, friend. R eigns preserves the texture of their companionship with unflinching honest y and lyricism\, illuminating how certain people leave an indelible mark l ong after they are gone.
