In Cartography, Reigns charts his friendship with Michael Colleli. Written at the time of his death, the writings are full of loss, reminiscence, pain, and the joy of their friendship. This ten part non-lineal poem addresses the universals of loss, the material, faulty memory, and friendship bonds. Reigns plays cartographer in this poem as he charts his way through his shock and grief.

A compilation of Reigns' writings on his first time with a man. The works range from a journal entry written the evening of the event on December 4, 1992 to a poem completed in July of 2005. Reigns writes in the introduction:
The moment we shared was a birth of sorts, an introduction. I hardly ever think of the specifics of that moment but do reflect on its emotional residue. Next year will mark fifteen years. Compiling these works, I realized that no amount of writing could really encapsulate all that the moment meant and ignited.
Chapbook made by Darin Klein & Steven Reigns.
