Collections like Juicy Mother are a wonderful reminder that there are stories that either aren't being told or, more accurately, aren't being given proper attention. Being a white, middle-class man I recognize that most of the stories that populate the popular culture tend to represent me, but as a queer man, there is a conflict because, until recently, men of my persuasion didn't get their stories told to expect when oscar season came along. This small collection was a chance to explore the queer identity and listen to the stories of gay men, lesbian women, and queer women of color who explore how they navigate being gay, being trans, being lesbian, being queer.

This collection was not as long as I would have preferred, but it was still a fun read and I loved discovering new voices.
