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.
Graphic: Homophobia, Racial slurs, Racism, Rape, Sexual assault, Sexual content, and Transphobia
Moderate: Death, Drug use, Misogyny, Sexism, and Violence
Minor: Suicide
