Forrest Robert Stepnowski captures the essence of "coming out" and coming of age as a gay male today, and over the past three decades. "Journey to the Rainbow's End" captures the joys of love, the pain of heartbreak, surviving the darkness of suicide, and the self-discovery of finding one's voice and place in society. Forrest Robert Stepnowski is a community advocate, a writer, a social worker, and a female impersonator, known as Victoria Eyesli, in the Pacific Northwest. He has been writing poetic works and prose for many years, and focuses on empowering others who have dealt with similar pathways of self-hate, self-deprecation, and self-loathing, in the hopes they can find they are not alone, that they are not deviants, nor are they against "human nature." We all have voices, and the world should hear them all. No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |

If one would try to encapsulate the essence of what the author is saying within the pages and poems in his book, I believe one would have to look no further than the song ‘I Am What I A’ from ‘La Cage Aux Folles’:
i am what i am
i am my own special creation
so come take a look
give me the hook or the ovation
it’s my world that i want
to have a little pride in
my world and it's not
a place i have to hide in
life's not worth a dame
till you can say
hey world
i am what i am!
i am what i am!
Looking at the title itself, specifically at the word RAINBOW; we find it might be referencing the song ‘Somewhere Over the Rainbow’, where the author, in my opinion, is attempting to communicate to his readers, the desire of people like him to getaway from their present environments and to be in a more acceptable place for them.
In the end, for having given his all readers this empowering book of what it’s like to be in his shoes, and to those who are like him that they’re not alone in how they feel; I given Mr. Stepnowski 5 STARS. (
