The Faggots & Their Friends Between Revolutions by Larry Mitchell
This book of fable-like prose poems about the struggle between “The Men” and people we now call “Queer” has become an inspirational text within the Radical Faerie movement.

Ocean Vuong is back with searingly spare, gorgeous, poems. Written in the aftermath of his mother’s death, Time Is a Mother is a memoir of sorts about clawing your way to emotional survival.

Ursa is a Kentucky blues singer living (and trying to love) after a personal tragedy makes her confront her generational trauma in the form of Brazil slavemaster, Corregidora. Brutal and heart-wrenching in equal measure, this 1975 classic of Black literature deserves a new generation of readers.
