In the early 1990s, eight people living in a small conservative Florida town alleged that Dr. David Acer, their dentist, infected them with HIV. David's gayness, along with his sickly appearance from his own AIDS-related illness, made him the perfect scapegoat and victim of mob mentality. In these early years of the AIDS epidemic, when transmission was little understood, and homophobia rampant, people like David were villainized. Accuser Kimberly Bergalis landed a People magazine cover story, while others went on talk shows and made front page news.

Part expression, part confession, part question, it is an intimate look at the impact of mental illness, trauma, and neglect. A critical dissection of the interconnected roles that family, religion, society, education, and government play, as well as their impacts upon an individual. A commentary on current affairs, historical trends, and the bleak potential of our collective future, Can’t Quite Express is also both an example of, and an encouragement for, writing therapy.

Toda la obra de Federico García Lorca está rodeada de misterio, toda vez que las balas asesinas de Franco le arrebataron la vida. Y aún más aquellas partes de su obra que podemos considerar inacabadas. Es el caso de "Sonetos del amor oscuro", el único texto conocido en el que el poeta habla abiertamente del amor entre dos hombres. Once composiciones de una belleza inigualable, escritas durante el último año de su vida, que no sabemos si iban a formar parte de un determinado conjunto o de qué forma Lorca las había concebido.

Destined from birth to become a legend, Achilles grew up training to be a warrior to fulfill his prophecy. When the time comes, however, he begins to doubt the heroism of his bloodshed. With war raging all around him, will Achilles find a reason to join the battle?

Rosie Garland's enthralling new poetry collection, What Girls Do in the Dark, invites us to leap into deep space. Rooted in the realm of gothic imagination, mythology, and the uncanny, it contains magnitudes and magic, feminist fables starstruck with science and astronomy. Like comets, these dazzling poems explore containment and liberation, asking what it means to dismantle expectations, escape the drag of gravity, and blaze your own path with "strangeness that makes you strong".

The poems in this two-part collection look at the loneliness of a newborn for her sick mother, the first stirrings of sexual desire for a best friend, the treacherous leap from a sheltered world of faith into lesbian life, the frustrations of falling for straight women, the alchemy of falling in love, and the aftermath of losing it. In the first section, the poet sings back to the many women she has loved. In the second, she sings back to the one who sang the sweetest and the saddest songs.

Prelude to Bruise is a song from a tightrope, balancing ecstatic existence and the chaos that always threatens to engulf a life on the margins. How do we reckon our past without being ravaged by it? How do we use people, their bodies, to express ourselves? Danger is everywhere in these poems, but never overwhelms them; the poet is always an anchor on the other side. And his story carries us relentlessly along.

Why I Was Late fuses text with performance, bringing a transmasculine wisdom, humor, and experience to bear upon tailgates, spaceships, and wrestling rings. Fierce, tender, convention re-inventing—Petch works hard. And whether it’s as a film union lighting technician, a hospital bed allocator, a Toronto hot dog vendor, or a performer/player of the musical saw, the work is survival. Heroes are found in unexpected places, elevated by both large and small gestures of kindness, accountability and acceptance.

The mystics who coined the phrase "the way of affirmation" understood the apocalyptic nature of the word yes, the way it can lead out of one life and into another. Moving among the languages of Christian conversion, Classical metamorphosis, seasonal transformation, and gender transition, Luke Hathaway tells the story of the love that rewired his being, asking each of us to experience the transfiguration that can follow upon saying yes—with all one’s heart, with all one’s soul, with all one’s mind, with all one’s strength ... and with all one’s body, too.

Why you so uptight? Breathe, bitch. Too concerned about behaving in a socially proper way. I have always been enthralled with constant curiosity about what's on the other side. As a queer being, I fall into the cracks of society, with the intersectionality of all these labels and identities. I get a different perspective of reality, and I am an opportunist and an alchemist. So I transform my bitterness and pain into jewels. We are all drawn, mysteriously, to what's on the other side. Continue along, and serve yourself some cosmic deliciousness.

Hindsight is the first collection of poetry released by Ivanova. In many ways, Hindsight is an autobiography, capturing Sofiya's pre-teen and early teen years, and all the feelings that come with it. Hindsight not only unfolds like a coming-of-age collection but it also as an introduction to the world of a new and gifted poet. But, it is also an exorcism and celebration of the past, as she becomes a poet who sees the world with clarity and beauty—a poet that we all need.

In her debut chapbook, Kara Krewer comes of age amidst poverty, family tragedy, and a cast of characters both grotesque and relatable. Born-Again Anything explores what it means to grow up queer in the rural South, to leave, and to return. These poems search for meaning in contradiction: of both loving and struggling against landscapes, people, and upbringing.

In this ferocious and tender debut, Chen Chen investigates inherited forms of love and family — the strained relationship between a mother and son, the cost of necessary goodbyes — all from Asian American, immigrant, and queer perspectives. Holding all accountable, this collection fully embraces the loss, grief, and abundant joy that come with charting one's own path in identity, life, and love.

Delve into the mind of Chesca Christine as she opens herself up in an often dark, but raw, manner. In the poems, she describes things like how she was just an observer, or she says farewell to her past self. Spread throughout are series like “I Would Have Chosen”, in which a corpse describes the art of decomposition and yearns for a respite, or “The Journey”, in which a city is visible, but is not the destination. There are some musings about how others act and possible repercussions for said action.

Collective Amnesia: The Audio Experience is the marriage of sound, poetry, music, and theatre making, a storytelling experience for the ears, transporting the listener from their reality into the worlds of the poems.

Poemas urbanos, melancólicos, amorosos. En ellos transcurren los días del ser hijo y se despliegan los aprendizajes trascendentes de la infancia, intuyéndolos en el susurro sensual entre el padre y la madre o arrancándolos de sus discusiones. Siguiendo los pasos de quien sale a trabajar, de quien cocina y lava y tiende la ropa al sol. Siguiendo los pasos de quien se apura a sacarla antes de que caigan las gotas de una tormenta intempestiva.
