Reception

Journalist Sean Beedle on Sexy Train Things

Sexy Train Things, Boyer’s first book, is full of poems that reflect the realities of the trans experience in the Pikes Peak region, but avoids the pitfalls of so many solipsistic trans narratives whose entire focus is on the author’s gender identity.
