Critical Reviews
2025 Foreword INDIES Award Winner - Adult Nonfiction, LGBTQ+ Category
"The earnest, spirited essays of Queer Communion highlight the contradictions and unexpected blessings of squaring queerness with Christianity in Appalachia. . . . The essays explode easy binaries, shedding light on the crossovers between faith and sexuality."
--Foreword ReviewsThis edited collection is a poignant, heartbreaking, and affirming celebration of the complex relationship between Appalachian queers and religious faith.
-- "Omnivorous"This volume, edited by Davis Shoulders, offers varied perspectives on growing up in Appalachia and growing up in the church. Each writer wrestles in their own way to that universal truth and holiness while acknowledging the unique pain or trauma of their story. . . . Love -- for place, for themselves, even for those who have done them harm -- is the guiding force of Queer Communion, a welcome set of voices, raised together, each contributing their own part.
-- "Chapter 16"
