Arachne Press has long been a champion of LGBTQ+ writers, but we've never before published an anthology of LGBTQ+ poetry. These are joyful poems that celebrate all that is best about our community/ies and lives. This is not an 'explain it to the straights' book, this is for us. LGBTQ+ readers can open this book at random and find a moment of poetic queer joy for themselves, however big or small. Featuring contributions from: Abhi Alexander Williams Annie Kerr Aoife Mannix Becky Brookfield Cherry Potts Conway Emmett Dean Atta Desree Elizabeth Chadwick Pywell Elizabeth Gibson Garnett 'Ratte' Frost Helen Bowie Jane Aldous Jeremy Dixon John McCullough Joshua Linney Joshua Jones Joy Howard JP Seabright K. Angel Kate Foley Khakan Qureshi, BEM Laurie B.
