A fantastic anthology. As to be expected with any anthology, I didn’t love all of the poems, however I concede that I may not have fully understood them, been the target audience, or many such reasons, and they were very likely good. Many of the poems deal with very heavy topics, however, there were some lighthearted poems and love poems, which I appreciated as well.
It was nice to read fantastic poetry by queer poets, especially by queer poets of color, who are often erased from history and the present.
Many of the poems were incredibly impactful, emotional, and thought-provoking.
Overall, I loved this anthology.
