A wonderful compilation of QTBIPOC poets. There is a great need to create compilations like this to preserve and celebrate our identities as queer people, as people of color and as poets so that our stories and experiences are not lost and forgotten.

Anthology so variety of styles and subject matter, all in all some really beautiful pieces. I liked how there also seemed to be young poets and old poets and poets who passed away. It was cool to read such a breadth of work

important collection - will give you a lot to think about and a lot to explore. if i can say - appreciated all the different emotions and tenors, too, the book will neither drag you down or pump you up, except to read and learn and connect more.

"... They don't know
we need each other
critically.
They expect us to call in sick,
watch television all night,
die by our own hands.
They don't know
we are becoming powerful.
Every time we kiss
we confirm the new world coming..."
