"If You Knew Then What I Know Now" is included in Best of the South 2011 by The Atlanta-Journal Constitution
“If there is a more gloriously tender account of growing up gay in suburban Missouri, we have yet to see it. In 13 linked essays, Van Meter traces a loose chronology of a boy who spent the first half of his life learning to hide in the closet, and the second, struggling to come out of it.”
