Cupid, Grown by Adam Panichi is an exploration of queer identity, desire, and memory, rendered with sharp lyricism and cinematic intimacy. Moving between past and present, myth and the everyday, the collection navigates the tensions of masculinity, tenderness, and self-recognition. Panichi unravels personal and cultural histories-where gender is both inherited and reshaped, love is a battleground and a sanctuary, and language itself becomes a site of transformation. Rooted in the domestic and the mythic, these poems carve space for longing, reinvention, and the quiet, radical act of survival.
