sex and oatmeal

sex and oatmeal is a poetry collection that explores love, longing, and the raw messiness of being human. With disarming honesty and emotional precision, Eric Guilmette navigates intimacy, identity, and the quiet wreckage of heartbreak. Each poem is a moment of vulnerability—served warm or cold—capturing the dizzying highs of connection and the aching stillness of absence. Rich in contrast and laced with “Eric-isms,” these verses linger in the tender, the awkward, and the real. For anyone who’s ever felt too deeply or dared to hope again, this is more than poetry—it’s lived truth.
