"'Landmark' Anthology 100 Queer Poems Published for Pride Month"
"The power of the anthology, said Bernard, is that it 'showcases each poem and poet doing something interesting with the subject in their historical context.' They hope that people reading the book will 'understand that queerness is not a discrete sexual category separate from everything else, but something that changes colour and texture in relation to history, economics, nationhood, geography.'"

What Sparks Poetry:
Leah Nieboer on Hillary Gravendyk's Harm
"I keep reading it because it makes me desire its inevitable cyborgs and monsters, its palpitated time-signatures, its 'pink dreaming riot.' I, too, want to get weaved in. Or—I am already weaved in, and desire a present, and future, that is livable with, and inclusive of, a chronic error-measure. Give me less of that narrative 'cure' imposed 'across an abrupt jumble of absences' and more of this speculative wildness." |
