Nepantla: An Anthology Dedicated to Queer Poets of Color
by Christopher Soto
This is a really incredible anthology that manages to collect decades' worth of work by queer poets of color and give you an amazing taste of the variety and possibility. I want to go out and read so much more work by all these poets; it has works by the sort of "obvious" poets, but also newer, then-up-and-coming poets, and poets whose work is perhaps less immediately thought of. Favorite poems in this include Denice Frohman's "once a marine biologist/told me octopuses have three hearts", "Someday I'll Love Ocean Vuong" by Ocean Vuong, "Heavy" by Hieu Minh Nguyen, and "Wet Dream" by Allyson Ang. Honestly though, I loved pretty much all of these poems, and their variety is really a strength of this collection.
