QueerSexWords by Caseyrenée Lopez

lattelibrarian's review

4.0

This collection made me think, it made me feel.  Each poem was different and beautiful and unique, and discusses the sometimes difficult topics of queer identities, sex, and trauma.  Overall, it was a wonderful collection, though there were two moments in which the text made me feel a little uncomfortable--one being the calling-in of the audience via the "you" and "we" in a particular poem in association with the word "queer"--it was a bold move, and I appreciate bold moves, but as I have my own personal feelings towards that word, it may be a bold move better suited towards other audiences.  That being said, there were so many good things about this collection, especially in regards to modern day identities and relationships.
