A really good anthology by a press that does superb anthologies. You get a good sample of each poets work, and the conversations are really enlightening. Although fair warning, you'll want to buy every poets books after you read (though you should want to, anyway)

NR. This was a really cool way to ~sample~ five poets in one go! I loved getting to know their style and hear their non-poetry voice as they talked about gender, writing, etc.
This had a VERY palpable 2017 era anxiety throughout — not a good or a bad thing, just noticeable and I’m sure influenced the collection.
At times it did feel a little too publicity-focused for my taste, but I think that’s just the comms professional in me being picky.
Overall: Great concept and execution of you want to read more genderqueer poetry!

Love the poetry (will be reading more from all authors), and the conversation, and all the Chicago connections.

A wonderful selection of voices in a really cool format; hearing from the poets in both verse and conversation really gives a special insight into their processes. I'm excited to read more from all of them now!

Favorite poems from this collection:
"Home [Chaos Theory] - Christopher Soto, who may be my new favorite poet. This gave me an emotional breakdown on the meaning of the word "home."
"Essay on the Theory of Motion" - Cameron Awkward-Rich. I think I have a new understanding of the word "transition."
"Homebois Don't Write Enough" and " YOU are SO Brave" - Kay Ulanday Barrett, the latter of which made me cry.
