<p>A memoir of poems and art, <em>Coming Out Party</em> chronicles poet and author Rebecca Bendheim's queer coming of age journey -- from first crushes and toxic homo-erotic friendships, to coming out and secret flings, to finding queer community and falling in love for the first time. <em>Coming Out Party</em> is a fierce, funny, and deeply personal celebration of the strength it takes to break down the protective walls we've built-and embrace our truest selves.</p>
