Description - Heaven's Coast by Mark Doty

The year is 1989 and Mark Doty's life has reached a state of equilibrium. His reputation as a poet of formidable talent is growing, he enjoys his work as a college professor and, perhaps most importantly, he is deeply in love with his partner of many years, Wally Roberts. The harmonious existence these two men share is shattered, however, when they learn that Wally has tested positive for the HIV virus. From diagnosis to the initial signs of deterioration to the heartbreaking hour when Wally is released from his body, this is an chronicle of love, its hardships, and its innumerable gifts.
