Singh Is Queer by Manpreet Singh
4.0

This collection of poems explores a wide range of experiences, many of which I can’t personally speak to. I appreciate the author’s vulnerability in sharing each piece of their identity. The two other things I appreciated most about this collection is that it started with a land acknowledgment. This is the first book I’ve read which includes an acknowledgment in the first poem in the collection. An incredibly mindful start. Lastly I appreciated the insight into the intersection of a Sikh and Queer identity. It’s an identity that really doesn’t get the support it deserves and I’m just really happy to know that there is a voice out there for other Queer Sikhs to connect with and not feel alone.
