About the Book:
How did you grow to be who you are? What loves nurtured you into becoming? What seeds have been sown within you to nurture hope? Which avenues through life have allowed you to expand your self and transform in myriad ways? I am not one thing.
Drag Queen Preacher is a reflection of being and a revelation of love. In poetic snapshots, R.R. Tavárez--pastor, urban farmer, artist, advocate, drag queen--reveals the complexities and rich beauties of a multi-faceted identity. Drag Queen Preacher is a memoir-in-poetry about culture, family, queerness, resistance, and faith.
