There's a whole bunch of queer love poems: poetryfoundation.org/collectio

Carol Ann Duffy is a queer poet: poetryfoundation.org/poets/car
Her collection The World's Wife is a good place to start.

This collection is also pretty cool: The Choreic Period (Latif Askia Ba) - you can read sample poems of his at The Poetry Foundation: poetryfoundation.org/poets/lat

And: Jericho Brown, who won the 2020 Pulitzer for poetry (collection: The Tradition)

The Poetry FoundationQueer Love PoemsPoems, readings, poetry news and the entire 110-year archive of POETRY magazine.

A helpful piece about ableism in workshop feedback / expectations, by Sarah Fawn Montgomery:

"I wanted to write stories about bodies and brains like mine without having to justify that yes, this really did happen and, yes, I really did feel this way, and no, I was not exaggerating to garner attention or sympathy."

The new issue of Ouch! just came out, and I am one of 75 queer / trans / nonbinary contributors whose work is collected in it. You can read the whole issue online FREE (or treat yourself to a hard copy, which also helps support the journal):

ouchcollective.com

at the top of the page, go to 'Publications' to see the digital issues - the latest one is 4. There's a lot of visual and textual art to explore!

Insightful, heartening read by Mia You on (non) native English, (poetry) translation, and who owns language:

poetryfoundation.org/articles/

"The English of possibility. The English in the imagination. The English reclaimed and reinvented by the (neo-)colonized speaker. You find a way to stretch the language to fit you and your stray prepositions."

KARE RAISU

take me to your place
i'll make you lunch
kare raisu
lots of butter
ginger
and curry
carrots, potato and apples
no chicken, though
i'll have to look up
what to replace it with
for the protein
just remember to save some
to take with you on monday
after we could
have some coffee
do you have any?
i like mine with milk
do you have any?
sorry, where's the sugar?
no, don't worry
i'll do the dishes
fine, FINE
then i do the plates and pots
you do the forks and mugs
where's your bathroom?
come with me
let's watch a romance
on your mirror
