This second volume really upped the writing game. I felt like there was a wider variety of stories and while some were more engaging than others, I really loved getting exposed to different time periods and cultures. The stories that stood out the most to me were The Ibex Tattoo by Gwen C. Katz and Flowers in the Wind by A. D'Amico. I loved the storytelling in Tattoo being the narrator and the vivid imagery that was written. Flowers literally had me crying at the end. I love Japanese culture so much, and the poem at the end was so moving--love, love, love it. I highly recommend this!

This queer historical art anthology was uplifting and beautiful. It has about 19 short comics and 13 standalone illustrations, most of it in black and white.
The stories chosen range from war time longing to domestic companionship. The vast majority focus on PoC through the ages and social status. They all represent personnal or community archivements, personnal wins with echoes still now.

This was such a quality boost from the first volume! The stories get a bit more space to breathe, there are more there's more artists, better art, better stories - if you read volume 1 and liked the concept but were a bit disappointed at the quality, check this volume out, it's great!

What I liked best about this was the diversity: characters who are ace, non-binary, trans, intersex, gay, lesbian, bisexual. Different cultures and time periods are represented. I liked this one better than volume 1!
I skipped the prose story.
