“Live Nude Guys is an ode to all who have been fucked and spurned, proving that messy sex and voicemail angst is poetry, too.” - Verity Sturm, The Michigan Daily

Shane Allison has been writing poetry since he was fifteen, hiding away in his school library, scribbling sappy love verse about boys in notebooks. His poetry has graced the pages of over a hundred literary magazines and a plethora of anthologies. His first poetry collection, Slut Machine, was published by Queer Mojo Press. His second book, I Remember, was published by Future Tense Books. He has edited over twenty anthologies of gay erotic fiction, and has two published novels, Harm Done and You're the One I Want, both from Strebor Books. Shane was recently featured in the anthology Reading Queer: Poetry in a Time of Chaos, and has a new chapbook, Born and Raised, both from Anhinga Press. When he's not writing, he’s drawing and making collages. Shane is hard at work on finishing a new novel.
