100 Queer Poems by Andrew McMillan, Mary Jean Chan
5.0
challenging hopeful lighthearted medium-paced

I loved this collection. It has many funny, heartful, sad, bittersweet, sexy poems for readers of different interests. The introduction and approach to amassing the voices is beautifully expressed. I really enjoyed coming across familiar authors, including people I didn’t know wrote poems. Equally, I’ve taken lots of time to get to know the new poets I didn’t know. It’s a collection that feels full of love for queer people but without being sentimental or cliché about many, many different ways of existing and feeling.
