hopeful inspiring fast-paced

Picked up this one to fulfil the ‘poetry from before 2000’ prompt for Queer Your Year 2024 - semi cheating since it’s not necessarily a collection, more a big queer manifesto often venturing into verse. Sometimes I wasn’t too sure what was going on, but I sure as hell enjoyed my time with it - and since I’m not really a poetry person, that definitely counts for something!  The main message is that queers, and anyone in any ways oppressed by capitalistic, white supremacist and patriarchal society, must stick together. Without solidarity, we are nothing. 

Plus points for excellent illustrations, v weird, I loved them
